Boosting packs for sale? That makes me really sad

So I'm one of those "been playing since beta, did all the stuff, been to the lighthouse, oryx, solo crota, vog at 29" people. And I have really enjoyed playing Destiny, a lot. In fact I've made tons of friends and met some great people because of this game. But it makes me really sad to think that Bungie would start selling boosting packs. First of all, that feels like a complete retracting of when it was said that real money would only ever be used for cosmetic items. And because I enjoy destiny as much as I do, I have put a lot of money into those items because I want to support the game's future. Second, it's taking away part of what made destiny fun. Sure, the grind is hard, but that's where making friends can happen. I realize that boosts would be a nice addition, but instead of paying for them, why not reward people with small boosts for joining a clan, or for running a strike/raid/pvp game with a full fireteam? I hate to think where paying for boosting could take Destiny. And sure, you might say "this is just a boost for players, it doesn't affect gameplay," but that's simply not true. Plus, if you start down this path with boosts now, where will it end up in 3 years? 8 years? Will you be able to just 'buy' a gjallarhorn year 8? Or the way you're setting it up a "LUCKY CHEST" that drops an up-to-date exotic for only $10.99. I think this is a terrible direction for Destiny to go, and it makes me sad that something I am very passionate and enjoy do this. I know one person's feedback isn't going to change it, but I just wanted to say it somewhere.

  • I really like destiny. I think I've played it more than any other video game I've had. That being said it's still a video game that I use to fill my spare time. It's not worth getting worked up or upset over. If they do something that makes me not enjoy playing I'll play a different game or spend my time in something else entirely. Posting in all caps on the forum will not affect anything. So until I stop having fun I'll keep playing. To me it's a video game that isn't worth my time or effort to fight for or argue against.
