It's not a matter if you spent any money or not. It's the fact this company isn't really using the micro transactions for what they said it was intended for. This "if you don't like it don't buy it" is nothing but nonsense and doesn't help you or anyone at all. The fact is, it really doesn't belong in a game like this if it is more then just cosmetics. Other words, Bungie is a liar because they said the micro transactions were only supposed to be cosmetics and not advance gamers... https://gamerant.com/destiny-microtransactions-333/undefined [quote]Even though these microtransactions are merely optional emotes, there are many players that absolutely lament any type of microtransactions in any game that is not free-to-play. Moreover, the Destiny critics that had their opinion changed by The Taken King may revert back to an anti-Destiny stance, as these optional emotes are potentially a slippery slope to microtransactions for weapons, armor, [b]and other items to give players that spend real world cash an edge over the competition. Even though Bungie claims we won’t see this happen,[/b] it would be easy money, and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if we saw it happen somewhere down the line[/quote] It's bad enough that it's RNG, but now it's pay to advance that is targeting kids and teens. I know you can "earn" by playing the game but the truth about that is, we all know how "generous" Bungie is. To make that last statement clear.... [b] I'm referring to what Bungie offers in-game.[/b] Here is another link implying this wasn't going to happen. https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/13672/7_Introducing-Eververse-Trading-Company Edit: Making a post like this is only you telling this company to keep pulling their nonsense, and you are part of the problem instead of being part of the solution. Yeah... will see how much "you don't care" when Trials comes along with that pay to advance. It's actually sad when Gamers don't look at the overall on what is actually taking place and how it's going to get much worse as time moves on. As if Gamers didn't complain about Trials enough as it is lol. Edit:1, you know what makes no sense at all? This company doesn't even have a loot based system that fits having micro transactions in the game. We have something that will allow gamers to advance but we dumb down the entire game. Okay...

I have just started muting the people that complain about micro-transactions. The forums are so much better without them

I originally up voted this thread, but that was before I realised they are selling items that contain weapon mods, which is getting a bit too close to pay to win for me. Also, the whole shadergate thing is a stretch too far, so have changed it to a down vote. .

I wouldn't care if i could buy what i wanted. Its snakey that its RNG, because its basically gambling and the house CANT lose

One positive that people who are against it are missing (after all, I always try to find the positive!) is that literally everything available in ever verse is available via playing the game, and there aren't weekly limits to earning the stuff. So there are no, as of yet, eververse exclusives! Stay awesome friends!

People are over reacting. You get one every single time you level up after 20, and you get them as random rewards too. There's no need to spend money at all. Just another thing to grind for in my opinion.

It's my money that I work for so I will spend it anyway I see fit. What I do with my money doesn't effect you.

I like micro transactions, just for the salt they create. People foaming at the mouth cause of it lol

I'm with you on this. From what I've read and seen in the game, the stuff you can buy with real money can be earned naturally or is merely cosmetic. That sort of thing doesn't bother me one bit and I don't plan to spend any money on it.
