Blacksmith Shouldn't Be a Prize for Those Who Got Locked Out, Time to Fix It. [Solved for Me]
For the love that of the Traveler, BLACKSMITH SHOULD NOT BE A RARE COSMETIC ITEM GIVEN AWAY FOR CONTESTS AND EVENTS.
IT IS A PREORDER BONUS THAT NEEDS TO AT LEAST BE SOLD ON THE MARKET PLACE.
You wanna take our BLAM!ing money by releasing the collector's edition content separately, BUT YOU CAN'T DO IT FOR ONE LOUSY SHADER THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN WEAR ONCE THEY GET IT?
At this rate you'll go, oh let's release the original CE cosmetics and not give a damn about Blacksmith. You're business are giving me the hugest of migraines just because of how stupid they are. I get screwed out of it from moving generations when all your equipment transfers over.
Honestly, you screw over the community more than you please it, this day is no exception. I couldn't care less if you don't give out free equipment, but something that should NOT BE HARD TO GET IS RARE IS JUST YOU RUBBING A MIDDLE FINGER IN THE COMMUNITIES FACES. Instead we have scalpers who charge outrageous amounts for it.
I haven't felt this angry since REACH'S MULTIPLAYER, SINCE YOU DIDN'T FIX THAT EITHER.
[b]Important Edit:
Here are my two links of trying to get this problem fixed while having community members telling me either bullshit or not helping me at all.

MAJOR EDIT:
For those who think that I'm complaining over something so silly, here is a quote for you:
"Do you forget all the times you go third person in this game? Because you should remember that's a part of the experience too.
Seeing your character pull of a super that ends up saving your team or demolish the enemy, protecting with the relic or smacking Crota around.
Having the character the way you want them to look is a part of the experience. Because not only do you look cool, but your stylish as hell while doing so.
So it being locked behind a paywall, or in this case, a code that now ties to your account is by all means something that impacts my experience."
[b]Edit 1: Seems that this piece of info got left out so I'll say it here.
I UPGRADED FROM PS3 TO PS4 THIS YEAR AND THE SHADER IS LOCKED OUT FOR ME, THIS IS THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD BECAUSE BUNGIE IS DOING JACK SH!T ABOUT IT.[/b]
[b]Edit 2: Review to the imgur link in one of the comments below, maybe you'll learn to say something that isn't spam.

[b]Edit 3: From my recent post:
" https://community.activision.com/thread/201034662?q=blacksmith
Like to bring something to attention, this goes for people who say I should take this argument to Activision. If you view the link above, the mods say to take "Destiny Support related issues you'll need to head over to Bungie's help page, Bungie : Help | Bungie.net".
So guess what, it's a never ending circle and it needs to stop.
Bungie needs to address this along side what they're doing right now."
Edit 4: " https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/139845580/0/0/1
That's where I draw a line, how the hell is that fair for people who upgraded and got screwed over? Low of the low, Bungie."[/b]

5 RepliesI love these polls that don't allow room for "I totally disagree and think op needs to cram it"

3 RepliesYou know if you had the shader on the ps3, it should have transferred up for you in your shader slot. Try buying it from special orders on your old console.

3 RepliesI upgraded to xbone from my 360 and I can't use the blacksmith shader anymore:(

1 ReplyStop bumping this... It's really sad

The dumb thing is that the code is on a RED BULL CAN. Nobody I know drinks Red Bull. Way to go Bungie, you start to win over your player base with HoW, then screw them over 10 times in a row once again

2 RepliesMy biggest issue is i HAD IT ALREADY but "preorder bonuses are console exclusive" read: were too -blam!-in dumb to code this in to both for you...oh yea and we want your money again so you're going to have to get it again if you really want to have something you already owned

Luke Smith: "Um, Xur had no weapon in his inventory this week." Activision: "Good, now we can finally give all these damn shaders away."

5 RepliesEdited by skyrida: 7/18/2015 11:48:06 PMYou do realize nothing is truly "Exclusive", my point is anyone get everything you or I started with. In a person who's playing destiny for the first time can go to the psn store preorder the "Digital Guardian Edition" which everyone who first got the game gets a red ghost it was supposed to be for people who preorder day one. Here to make it easier for new people, https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/destiny-digital-guardian-edition/cid=UP0002-NPUB31202_00-B000000000000514?smcid=pdc:us-en:pdc-explore-gamefinder:gametile-buy-download:monster-jam-battlegrounds:UP0283-NPUB31686_00-MONSTERJAM000002 as you can see there is "red ghost skin" available with the preorder. They can get the item for much "cheaper" with the red ghost. Than turn around and preorder "The Taken King" for another $40 and have the red ghost and taken king preorder bonuses and VIP rewards. There model of "Exclusive" is get it now so you pay more, or just let the price go down and wait to get it cheaper.

2 RepliesEdited by fibeto: 7/18/2015 2:14:45 AMPretty sure it should only be a gift from pre ordering call of dookie. If it's sold I would have wasted my time pre ordering that for the shader. Shouldn't be a prize either. Definitely not for free.

1 ReplyI loved my blacksmith but they decided that if I had it on my PS3 when I switched to my ps4, I was no longer allowed to have it
-
4 RepliesIt's ugly. Who cares?
-
7 RepliesBlacksmith was an exclusive shader obtained by pre ordering Advnaced Warfare with destiny. The only way anyone should be able to obtain it is from code giveaways or the way it was done originally. It shouldn't be sold. It should stay exclusive.
-
1 ReplyIt's silly to ask people if they would rather have something for free or for a price. Reasonable people will always choose free, as long as they won't feel any guilt over it.

1 ReplyYou know what your main problem is.. Your own curiosity and stupidity like anybody else. 1. This was a promotion for CoD AW. Not destiny 2. Bungie ultimately has nothing to do with CoD:AW so this solely lies with Activision and them alone. 3a.nobody follows fine print anymore and that's why it's still being used, because even the normal everyday person is careless for everything and does what they think is right for themself... Here's the fine print 3b. Preorder the game "CoD AW" for 1 console and get this "blacksmith shader" in destiny. (same console as pre-order) [spoiler]from what I hear you have "blacksmith shader" on your PS3, just because the destiny server shows you having their game item doesn't mean you have "blacksmith shader" on your ps4 hard drive [/spoiler] 4. Destiny as a game may host their database online such as continuing a character on the next generation console BUT that doesn't mean you have the same access to certain content. [spoiler]the blacksmith shader was not part of the digital upgrades promotion and you cannot carry it forward or backward into the other generation of console [/spoiler] 5. Who else is complaining about this? Because they probably already knew most of this

1 ReplyBut if everyone was able to get it, no one would give a shit about it. Flawed logic is flawed.

1 ReplyDon't encourage microtransactions. We're already getting screwed for expansion prices.

2 Replies400+ comments about a shader, this community is nothing but a bunch of littles girls crying they don't get there way.
-
7 RepliesWhy are you so bothered by the fact that people who went to E3 get a code for a single shader?
-
What's a blacksmith? Lol

2 RepliesThe console lock on it also needs to be released. Had it in 360 and now I can't equip it on my one!!

2 RepliesI wouldn't mind if bungie released that shader for us to buy for like a dollar or even other "game themed" shaders that we could also buy maybe?!

36 RepliesHonestly, I'm surprised Deej hasn't even commented on this. Not because of everything posted in the beginning, but to at least give an answer about what the hell they're doing.
