You're literally paying real life money for your character to do a 2-10 second action. You cannot justify this. You can make excuses and I'll post your excuses for being a child using their parents credit card below. When you pay for emotes you are showing AAA companies that they can take stuff out of their game that better games give for FREE and sell it. I understand the type of audience who buys silver....and that audience is classified as the casual gamer. Not real gamers.
I love how I make a spelling mistake because I'm human and since you guys have no real valid arguments to make you choose 1 grammatical error. Only proves my point that you don't know how to spend money wisely.
Excuse #1: It's my money.
Excuse #2: I make (put exaggerated amount of money made per year here) and I can afford it.
Excuse #3: Don't worry about my money! (They know they're wrong and are trying SO HARD to justify something that just isn't justifiable).
Almost 50 replies and only 3 poor excuses have been made. Proving my point again....
I think you guys have tired yourself out. I just had to sit through the snot nosed kids coming in trying to justify purchases for EMOTES...I legit think I have cancer now. Thanks Density.
To the kids who think that I'm poor...I make well over 250k a year. Money aint nutin. Because I know you guys still can't come up with any good logical reasons as to why you pay for emotes other than you like Bungie screwing you over. Still waiting on that person but I'm starting to lose hope that there will be someone who can explain it logically.
SOMEONE FOUND A LOGICAL REASON TO GET AN EMOTE!
[quote]Because Microsoft paid for it by giving me codes worth $5-$10[/quote]
You guys disagreeing with facts have produced more salt than every single salt factory in the galaxiez.

Edited by loganman27: 11/26/2015 7:42:28 PMYou know what I love more than my emotes, Knowledge lol
-
Because I'll do what I want!!! That's why! Don't like it? Good! I'll enthusiastically dance to your salty tears of anger! Deal with it skittletits!
-
Someone really buy silver?? [spoiler]stupid people...[/spoiler]
-
Because when I have to "Sherpa" my buddies and on the fifteenth oryx run that cheer animation makes it a lot less tedious.
-
Why does it matter to you how people spend their money? :o
-
Wow seriously... you sound like a little child in a strop because mummy and daddy won't buy you emotes! Who cares if you do or don't who carers if deej is going to roll around every night on money made from emotes.
-
Riot Games and Valve/Hidden Path have already proven that people will spend huge amounts of money on cosmetic items in their titles. All companies need to do is look at the success of LoL and CS:GO and they have their incentive to provide cosmetic micro transactions. Buying emotes in Destiny will not affect the AAA business model or that of any other game for that matter. Get over yourself. These things are here to stay.

My justification is that I get up 6 days a week at 5:30am and work from 6am-5 or 6pm, so if I wanna spend some of my hard earned money, I'm gonna. I also spend a decent amount of money on Mary Jane each week, at least my emotes don't go up in smoke
-
Alright, Kenny.
-
I only used the silver they gave for free
-
I'm a grown man with a full time job. I can spend my money where I please. And it pleases me to hold these shinny emotes over your peasant head.
-
How much are emotes? Never bothered to do the conversion for silver. I imagined they were a dollar or two.
-
The money from emotes are being used to create free content. So why even bother pouting about it and just play the content you get. Or don't.
-
Who cares because I can what's the big deal that's a valid reason can't tell people what they don't want
-
Things like the emotes are exactly why the industry is going to shit, less time spent making [i]actual[/i] content and more time on useless cosmetic shit to nickle and dime people, while adding nothing of any substance to the game.
-
Sure, it isn't the best use of my money, but I wanted them, I had the money to pay for them, and I was willing to pay. I could care less what it encourages. If companies want to make money, let them do it.
-
Lmao. Excuse number 2. I make an extravagant amount of money so I can afford it. Op then says he makes 250k a year and money ain't nutin. Classic!
-
I just bought some to make you angry. The emotes are cool, but your saltiness is priceless!
-
Dude, if you're going to complain about people buying emotes you might as well go on a universal forum and tell people, because, if you think Destiny is the only game that does this you're far from wrong.
-
I got a free promotional gift card for Microsoft points and bought the thriller dance with it
-
Your an idiot. It's hilarious fun and I support destiny. Don't like it, don't play.
-
Edited by DawonLezzz: 11/26/2015 6:39:48 PMIt's a microtransaction, we know. It's totally cosmetic, you should know. So why are you neck bearding over this? You aren't making any sense. You [b][i][u]SHOULD[/u][/i][/b] be enraged about cut content, gated exotics, lack of story, vets being shafted, and garbage DLC that they've given us. Grow up and grow a pair.

I can apply your logic to anything leisure/hobby based. People do what they want, end of story. ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

That zombie dance tho
-
No proof you make 250k. And if you live in Cali that ain't shit. Try harder.
-
Aaa? Microtransactions? Casuals? My 2 years of play in wow disagrees with every single aspect of this. You're obviously like 11, have never played pc games, some of which have more Microtransactions than in game gear. You could start a lemonade stand if your mommy won't pay for them.
