Pay-to-win has come to "Destiny". As part of the Festival of the Lost, players can use silver to purchase Treasures of the Lost. This random package could include items that speed up weapons upgrades and glimmer farming. So, remember when Bungie said silver would only be used for cosmetic items? Well, they aren't.
Micro-transactions are a slippery slope. The community needs to keep Bungie from going down that slope. Make your voices hear. Raise a ruckus. Let the Bungie faithful assail your revulsion of micro-transactions and pay-to-win. Let them see your resolve. Until Bungie relents and goes back to making "Destiny" the game it should be, we hold the line.

These aren't cosmetic items only. They include consumables.
Edit: Keep responding. "STFO, "Never go full . . .", "You're an idot". It's all there already. Every reply bumps this post and keeps the pressure on Bungie to avoid going pay-to-win. And yes, I know some Guardians would love it if "Destiny" went pay-to-win and they could just buy a Gjallarhorn 3.0, but that's not the game I bought.
-
But they can only be used from now to the ninth.
-
The Halloween consumables are also obtainable for free ya' know...
-
So it's like a mote? Don't give a shit. Lvl ur gun faster than me. Could care less.
-
Lol this isn't pay to win lol not even close

Edited by RagingPheonix00: 10/26/2015 10:19:16 PMhow does the speeding up of weapon upgrading ony relating to perks not overall damagae and glimmer farming a win. honestly im buying any silver, bungie can suk my wiener.
-
These are holiday themed versions of stuff already in the game.
-
You silly goose. They didn't give us anything besides network keys and black wax idols.

Edited by Malikor: 10/26/2015 10:19:49 PMI wish half-assed and half-cocked people like you who post some stupid bullshit bate post like this were moderated and deleted by the admins. This is some serious tin foil hate shit here.
-
Extra glimmer is apparently pay to win now. Great, thanks Bungie. #keppe
-
Its obvious what bungie is doing. Yeah ok here is your 'free' 400 silver but anything beyond that you have to pay for. I noticed right away today when I got some stuff from the festival that you can only get it from buying silver. I'll buy dlc if I want to I have no problem with that but this kind of stuff nah. Its no different than playing black flag and spending money to basically get everything at once instead of playing the game.
-
What are you winning exactly?
-
So, you mean the same kind of items we've been getting? Honestly, they're exactly the same as Black Wax Idols and Resupply Codes. And, we already have weapon telemetries.
-
I didn't see anybody complaining about focused light and that was a xp boost
-
But you can get all this shit in game already lmao don't be a -blam!-ing idiot it just looks different
-
Let the people who make fun of you, find out the hard way. You guys know nothing about the power of companies and how they use gamers for more money. It's ok you'll see half of these gamers realize what will happen and wish they rose there voice

Edited by AxelOfTheLight: 10/26/2015 10:09:45 PMYou're a fūcking idiot. Those consumables do nothing that isn't already in the game for glimmer. Such as, telemetry items and consumables like ether seeds. Now, pull that non-existent Penis out from inside of you, practice that flexibility you earned from striking sexy poses for your father, and please suck your dick and/or your asshole so neither can spew any more bullshit onto these forums #coldblooded #sorrynotsorry #OPisaFGT

Yup, I gotta agree with the OP here... you may recall a number of comments over the last couple weeks that ready like, "hey whiner, silver is for cosmetics ONLY you dumbass!!" Well you gotta admit, it didn't take long at all for them to start selling buffs for real money. Sure right now it's for glimmer or telemetry, but the slippery slope has already started sloping, and it's been what, 2 weeks? Has it even been 2 weeks yet? Clearly micro-transactions are a Destiny thing going forward... which I would argue is a bad decision.
-
Please go play a different game and leave...

Edited by sergantsnipes05: 10/26/2015 10:04:55 PMDidn't realize cosmetic masks that drop your light level were game breaking quests. That you also have full November 9th to earn in game. Oh wow. Glimmer consumables. Not like we don't have enough of those already. Or motes of light. Or telemetry
-
Yea I remember that troll Luke smith say they would never do this
-
How are you people so ignorant?! This is the slippery slope! First it was cosmetic items now its small consumables used to boost levelling. Whats next will undoubtedly be worse! Why are you refusing to ignore the cancer poisoning this game?!
-
You do realize you can get all of those consumables through normal gameplay during the festival. The candybags you fill up by just killing enemies can give you these candies
-
Edited by ItzElixsis: 10/26/2015 10:07:21 PMLol if you want to pay to level faster that's fine by me. Look everyone I can farm slightly faster than you because I bought this stuff!! What?! You can do it too and you didn't pay for it? What do you mean mine expires?
-
OP thinks either seeds with a different name and color give you an advantage. Lol
-
Salty Engram A savory snack that increases the development of upgradable Primary Weapons for a short time lol it should have been increases the development of upgradable Primary Weapons for a short time (for team mates only)
-
check the gunsmith lol he sells that type of shit too - and glimmer boost items? do you not play destiny?
