I truly hope that the outcry and support against the new shader system reaches you, you realize how bad this decision was, and you are able to patch it out.

THIS IS A POST UPDATE: (Original post name, Dear Bungie, did you mean to disrespect us with this cash grab of a shader system, because that's what it feels like.)
After the extreme response this post has received, both positive and negative I felt the need to make a couple edits to further explain the communities frustration and to help feed the trolls trying to get a rise out of everyone.
1. I LOVE THIS GAME, DESTINY 1, OL' BUNGO, AND EVERYTHING THE HAVE EVER DONE. This is not an attempt to bash them and I understand the original title was a little whiny and it made me look really entitled.
2. Everyone who has an issue with the shader system comes from D1 where we had an excellent system where you could collect and "grind" for special shaders, some of which you had to work VERY hard for. This was a perfect system. It allowed guardians to express themselves and show off a visible trophy to everyone else. By making shaders a single use they take away the appeal of trying to earn shaders in the first place. Why in the world would anyone grind for a couple hours to get a shader that you can use on a piece of armor that will be obsolete after a few more levels. If I work hard for a cosmetic item it should be able to be used again, bottom line.
3. MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE NEVER GOING AWAY AND I GET THAT, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO PRETEND TO BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.
First things first, if your argument is "Well then just don't buy it" you can kiss my lilly white @$$. Seriously if you aren't a troll and this is your honest to god argument you are so far gone. The point, to me and many others, is that we bought a game, plan to buy every expansion they offer, and have no intention of leaving this game to go spend time on another for a long time. But for companies like Activision to try and monetize an incredibly loyal fan base is disgusting and greedy.
I will not be buying anything because that is the best way to speak to a company that only speaks in profits, but the point is we shouldn't have to have a micro protest in a game where these types of items exist. If they want to have exclusive shaders that are only purchasable they can knock themselves out with that but this isn't what this and and you ALL know it.
Reddit update:

Edited by Mercy: 9/7/2017 12:56:03 AMThe strikes are gonna be boring soon. The games gonna be stale.far before dlc releases. And we don't have shaders to grind for and we don't have weapon rolls to grind for. And if the raid is horrible like CrotA or wrath of the machine was... rip d2. The subclasses are stale as shit. No real perk variety or diverse builds. Legendary weapons all are vanguard suck bags. Can't believe nobody has complained about factions just all disappearing off the face of the earth. Our guardians were loyal to these factions for years. Let's just remove them all.

2 RepliesChill, Diablo 3 shaders are single use too. D2 is doing it the same way.

2 RepliesJust preview a shader before you equip it idk, not hard

1 ReplyInstead of motes of light, you obtain Tess engrams when you level up, you can still get shaders

1 ReplyThis is nuts man, I mean it's cosmetic and all but why change it if it was good in D1? I don't get why bungie do these things to piss off the players. Someone in the office knew this wasn't going to work well with the players. I want my shader system back, where I can keep them!

Edited by DulcesVerde: 9/7/2017 12:07:24 AMCan you guys stop complaining about something this inane? -_- Reddit will blow up over anything. Seriously. They were all happy Destiny 2 was coming out...and one day later "Muh shader!", and "Think of the children who spend their life's allowance!". You are an adult. *Don't buy it.*. Grind for it like everybody did since Destiny Uno. If I wanted to go on a crusade against online gambling. it would be to my state legislature. -_-\
