[quote]I just picked up 650 bright dust yesterday from the free pass just for doing a crucible match. Now I can get 2 shaders for that.[/quote] Yeah which you got off the pass that is a one time reward not a way of grinding dust. Isn't it completely obvious why your one time redeeming of something vs much larger amount of new shaders they make fails? [quote]Granted, I already have 12,000 dust and pretty much every shader in the game (I like collecting them ok don’t judge me), but surely they must be much more valuable now that they’re more of an integral part of cosmetics, right?[/quote]They're exactly the same integral part so????? [quote]If I’m being honest, 40 bright dust for a shader was a little bit underpriced. Anyone could pick up every shader that comes out, when it comes out, without even thinking about the price![/quote] Which is how it should be. They're colors for armor or guns. Not game changing. [quote]Now they cost 300, which is still around the cheapest bright dust price in the game. Nobody has a problem paying for emotes or finishers or ships etc. what’s the big deal about shaders? Really. It just sounds like yet another thing people are complaining about, for no dang reason... [/quote] They have plenty reason to complain, you dont see why loading screens, emotes or finishers which are much bigger parts of the game then your color scheme are worth more? 300 bd is so overpriced its ridiculous. It would take a week straight of grinding bounties to earn enough to buy 2 shaders.....that's a problem [quote]might I recommend a strategy called [u]not complaining?[/u][/quote] Absolutely not, if we had more people like you wed still be rocking double primaries, long cooldowns and 4vs4 only pvp.
