Is it ethical to pay your way to flawless (or raid)?
So I got done playing Trials when I found out the enemies played for Guns of Destiny, a boosting service I found as an ad on DestinyLFG (.com), advertising they can get anyone Rank 5 in IB, which isn't that hard if you get a group of friends (or LFGers). SO I decided to dig around, when I found they charged $85 for a flawless trials passage or your money back. Not only that, but they also service IB (when it's around), and the raid, complete with challenge modes. This brings up the question of the title, as there is a fine line between pay to win and being "balanced". Just some food for thought.
TL:DR: Should you want to pay $300+ for 3 complete characters?
EDIT: I do not plan to do this. I plan to save up for more important things. Like Fallout 4 because relavence.

Eh, it has always been a thing in games. Usually that's done with in game currency but since there's no trading in Destiny... I never paid for a carry in any game be it FF14 or Destiny, and don't plan to do so. I feel like if one can't pull their own weight they don't deserve a reward. But in the end it's everyone's own decision. [spoiler]Even though I have to say, paying 15M gil in FF14 for a raid carry isn't as ridiculously dumb as paying $85 for a Destiny carry.[/spoiler]

I was fortunate enough to get a carry in year 1 and early in year two. It didn't feel right cause I wasn't contributing much at all. Recently I went flawless with two randoms off lfg casual. Our highest elo was 1297 and kd's were 1.21, .76, and .64. It was much more satisfying catching that lighting in a bottle than having to be carried to the finish line.

Yes, it is ethical. This is not a question of ethics. It is a question of pride. There is no honor in that.

1 ReplyEdited by emp strqnding: 3/7/2016 7:31:31 AMpay to win is typically defined as the game itself offering benefits for money (separate from the purchase of the game itself) when the community is charging other members of the community for services in game it becomes a separate issue from that. I don't know if you can apply ethics to destiny in this way. there's nothing morally wrong about paying someone to help you through a game. maybe you meant a different word. [spoiler]to answer your tl;dr, I don't think you should WANT to do that, you should practice and hone your skills so you can beat the challenge on your own merits. but if that is out of the question and you want the rewards, then you can pay people for it if you feel it's worth the money.

2 RepliesNo don't do it, the fun part of the game comes when you finally complete thst one thing you have really wanted to do. Paying to be ran through a raid, trials, or anything is just taking thst fun away.

1 ReplyNo. If you can't, you can't. I don't mean to be rude, but if you do pay that much for an emblem or gear in a videogame people will view you as a pathetic person. But it is up to you, do whatever your heart desires.

1 ReplyFor $300+ you could just get some new/better games. I wouldn't waste a cent on something so pointless.
