How much money is enough Activision?

Bungie. Listen. You need to step up and put your damn foot down. I know you guys can't support the decisions the Activision bastards are forcing on you. I'm disgusted with the amount of money I have wasted on this game. Let me recap my money spent; *Destiny; $60 - I have no issues with this purchase. *Dark Below and House of Wolves $30 - [b]Complete waste of $30.[/b] I play solo, so House of Wolves was completely useless. Solo players are locked out of like 70% of the content if not more. Dark Below and House of Wolves had almost no story and like 6 missions each. TDB didn't even have a proper fight against Crota [mission]. Skolas fight was pathetic and half assed. *Taken King $40 - While it's a good expansion for the most part so far it was way too damn expensive. It does a lot right, but it does a lot wrong. It's a step in the right direction, but far from what Destiny should be. *[b]Collector's edition set of garbage $20[/b]. - Yes, it's all pure garbage and I am shamed of myself for buying it. The cloaks are not useful at all. The shaders are a mixed bag. The emotes are god awful. Now, after all that I've invested into Destiny ONE you're introducing microtransactions on top of that? I'm gonna be sick. Especially since you charged me $20 for a pack of garbage you call "collector's items" and $30 on crap DLC. Now you're introducing like 20 more [emotes] that I can guarantee will be better that the super special snowflake edition's. I'd rather just have a damn subscription fee than this nickel and dime crap. You expect us to put up with this for 8 more years? You are out of your mind. I have two suggestions to stop this train before it completely derails. First, these silver items must be able to be earned in game. Earnable from quests, strikes, PVE and PVP, and possibly a new type of engram. Buying them will be faster, but you have got to give people a break and let us earn [b]another new currency[/b] in game. I've already given you almost $200 for gods sake. Oh, and weren't you saying how you were trying to streamline currency in game? I can already tell this Silver crap is going to be making it's way to vendors. It's just a matter of time. Second, Bungie. [b]Put your foot down and stand up to Activision and say "no."[/b] Activision is not going to walk away from Destiny if you stand up to them. You needed the $500m+ to make the game and Activision answers. That does not make you their slave. I highly doubt anywhere in your contracts it says Activision has free reign over your game. Enough is enough. Just say no. Microtransactions have no place in Destiny. You need to reward your players by having these kinds of things as rewards [b]in game.[/b] Not ask us to spend more money on them. The only rewards your players get now are usually hard earned, take too long, or are completely useless. One example of how your rewards are dreadful. The quest line from Lord Shaxx. You finish it and you get what? A damn commendation? Do you know how infuriating that was to me because I do not like PVP? 250 rank points. Wow, thanks. That's amazing. Don't even get me started on the faction level 25 quests. If you're not level 25 already you're SOL! The final reward is pretty, but completely useless. Oh, 6 rank points instead of 5? Awesome. That's another issue altogether, but you need to put a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for your players. Not just something that has virtually no use. "Oh wow, a new .3 second respawn animation. That's amazing." [u]Bottom line. Start giving and stop taking from your player base.[/u] To the players reading this; when is the last time you actually got something you wanted that wasn't handed to you on a silver platter? (Xur, 3 of coins abuse, etc). I can honestly say I can't remember. It was probably when I bought the Saterienne Rapier. I hate pvp so I really felt good when I got that. RNG? I've not gotten anything amazing from RNG in a few months. Any good weapon I get has crap perks on it that make it next to useless. If you're like me you're getting by with the mediocre weapons that engrams give you and hoping for a better version. Oh, and remember that Saterienne Rapier I put that effort into getting? Completely useless now. Thanks a lot for that by the way, Bungie. That's my piece. I know noone at Bungie will read or care, but the player base has got to say enough is enough at some point. This is getting out of control. Not to mention I am sure they are going to be asking for another $40-50 for the next two DLCs. God only know what else Activision has planned to milk this series to death before Destiny 2 is even revealed. Bungie...why Activision...Damnit why!?

  • I'm distrusted with the $180 I paid for cod ghosts, assassin's creed bf, and watchdogs. All have maybe 20 hours combined. Destiny was $140 and iv gotten over 1000 hours. So your dumb.
