Here is a post in which I warned of purchasable timed exclusive content
Don't get me wrong the Halloween event is good, but don't you sheeple see that it is just a way to scam money out of us?
If you buy any of those packages with cash then you my friend are going to destroy this game.
The next marketing technique is something to get more out of the time you put in, purchasable items that say work like three of coins or allow you to do multiple raids on a character. Effectively reset your characters items for money, not game breaking but a slow ease in to it so nobody makes a fuss.
Be careful guardians
(Edit) ugh I hate having to edit but too many people aren't intelligent enough to understand a few points.
1) I called the fact there would be timed purchases only obtainable with RL currency (dances) it's a simple marketing technique. Think about it, you might have seen an add on TV for say KFC or something offering a new item on their menu for a limited time. This creates urgency in a consumer so they buy despite not needing or really wanting it all that much.
2)eventually money will slow down on purchasable cosmetic items (this is the rule of the market) and the marketing team will release something different. This is why a new I phone comes out every year. And this is where the game will start to change.
3) these silver purchases aren't going towards dlc like you think. You will still have to pay $50 or equivelant depending on your country for the next dlc like TTK or HOW. This silver purchase goes towards events like queens wrath or say halloween event (surprise surprise, we paid for an event which is designed to make us pay even more. Well -blam!- me "marketing")
4) keep in mind bungie is a business. Business has marketing, marketing is about exploiting customers to suck as much money as possible. If people will pay for it then someone will sell it (supply and demand)
5) a little maths. 100,000 people pay for 1 dance (1% of playerbase) 20,000,000 players.
At $10 a dance that's $1,000,000
How much do you think it costs to make 3 dances?
Edit 2) I have not changed above post at all.
Below are some of the most common assumptions/weak ass arguments I keep getting. Before you tip your head sideways and spill stupid all over the reply button please read.
[spoiler]"get a job/you're poor." Anyone who can afford a console game power internet etc can spare $5 for a dance, it has nothing to do with this.
"You are a kid in your parents basement, get a job." Even if I was (I'm not unfortunately I have to work) then my dumbass parents would probably give me $5 if I asked seeing as they're stupid enough to support me.
"It's only cosmetic" my whole point is that I like cosmetics, but in this game it won't stay that way.
"You called me sheeple so now I'm upset and your (yes your) stupid" I called people that are blind to simple marketing techniques and the obvious trend this game is following sheeple, if you catergorize yourself as such then basically, sort your shit
Oh oh and "free dlc" <------ the hell do you even stay alive from day to day lol plz survival of the fittest my ass

2 답변How dare they put something cosmetic in the game and then charge money for it. It's almost like something they told us they were doing.

This has a lot of truth to it but like you said it's a business and one that I am happy to support and the DLC is gonna be free. I think Bungie is to smart to make Destiny a pay to win game and I am excited to see what else silver will get as long as it sticks to cosmetics I say it's a gr8 way to subsidize the cost of DLC by tempting us with emotes. Games can't be made for free and as long as you are having fun and are willing to pay the money why the hell not.

3 답변I have and will never spend money on Silver. They gave everyone 400 Silver for free. I bought two of the 200 Silver packs from the shop. So they got their own money back from me and nothing more till another DLC comes out that I'm willing to buy

So, if you want people to actually hear your message about micro transactions, I suggest turning down the narcissism dial a little and make your post [i]about your message[/i] and not about you.

3 답변Somebody operates a business, not a community service, with the intention of maximizing their profitabiity? Holy shit. We're all -blam!-ed now. Thanks, Bungie.

6 답변Will people stop with this " stop buying micro transactions" bullshit. Did i spend your money? I dont -blam!-ing think so, its my money and i can do what i want with it. Everyone can do whatever they want with their own damn money.

3 답변So what let people spend money. That's why we work so we can spend money how we please. Also all future DLC are free for now. As long as they are making money they will give us new content

6 답변Jesus Christ when will you idiotic kids realise these items do not impact on the game experience. Releasing pointless items at an extra cost is like buying shiny alloys for your car...you do not need them and it is not a scam, if people want them they will buy them and if people don't want them they won't buy them. Angry at something 'extra' not being free? Welcome to the real world. Businesses are not your friends they exist to make profit. If you don't like the way a business does this you don't have to buy anything from them. Now shut up and eat your cornflakes with the free milk they provided...oh wait you had to buy that and a spoon too!

4 답변The price of a game today is the same it was 20 years ago. Except now they can fix bugs with patches and add content. You and others like you being cheap and feeling you're entitled to extra content for free is a you problem. Welcome to the real world.
