simply put: the -blam!-? and don't anyone come at me with the free-to-play shite. I can't buy season passes for 4000 bright dust. none of the 'it's just cosmetic' stuff either. if aesthetics didn't matter we wouldn't have armour drops. bright dust being at a premium now is frustrating. I feel like i'm earning less, but i'm not sure that's actually the case. I mean, I definitely am in comparison to season opulence, because I was getting exotics in like half my bright engrams. and I play a lot so I levelled a lot. now I'm basically guaranteed 3600 a week because of weekly bounties, but... well, everything costs more, so if a bit of armour pops up, that 3600 is spent on unlocking it across all my characters. and festival of the lost makes me keenly aware of this. the new armour is 6000 bright dust a set, and at 3600 a week, with only three weeks of FotL, I'm gonna be... 7200 short. so, two weeks short. 'but random bounties' you say! well, at 10 bright dust per bounty, i'd only need to do 144 strikes to make that up... and at 10(-ish) minutes per strike that's ~24 hours of strikes. I mean, I could do that. but I won't. because that would be asinine. and doesn't include the time spent going and back and forth from the tower between strikes
