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.

Edited by HeadButtYoNut: 10/27/2015 1:29:13 AMMan, sure is pay to win for those glimmer items. *check inventory* ah shit thats right I have hundreds of every one of those items thats been in the game for over a year. Well I can sure pay my way to the top for with that extra upgrade speed from these new crazy pay to win telemetry. Ah my bad I have dozens of those just sitting there wasting away because they are -blam!-ING USELESS. Let me explain to you pay to win. A kid cant beat Oryx, so he goes to Tess and he buys a item that increases his damage by 30%. PAY TO WIN. A kid is tired of being throat -blam!-ed by a Hammer of Sol. He guys and buys a item that triples his health and tanks 2 hammers and kills the guy. I buy a cool dance. COSMETIC I buy a experience booster to quickly level up a gun : CONVENIENCE The funny shit is you act as if buying those boxes will help. You can go -blam!-ing farm a full bag of candy in 5 minutes. EDIT: EVEN -blam!-ING FUNNIER. THIS PAY TO WIN SHIT PEOPLE ARE CLAIMING. THESE ITEMS LAST TIL THE END OF THE EVENT.
