[quote]The emblems, shaders and ship are visible in the kiosks and the exotics are visible are in the armoury. So they are in the game, but they're not available. And that's why people are annoyed. As for the look of your character - I think that's massively important! If it was just about getting the gear you NEED (in the context of 'needing' anything in a video game!) as opposed to the gear you WANT then the game would be a lot simpler. Have you never stumbled across a guardian and thought 'wow that shader is cool, where do I get it?' or seen an emblem and thought 'wow that guy has the scarab emblem, he must be a big deal in the crucible'? These are the things that keep 90% of the Destiny population interested in grinding over, and over, and over. I know I often put on different bits of armour because they look cool and it's a balance between stats and being an OG.[/quote] There were some emblems and shaders that were bugged (i.e. Cryptarch), I believe. The look of my characters vary in importance from game to game. I cared more in WoW because some weapons and armor sets looked great, and because you could make yourself very unique and show off to, well, a lot of players. But the armor in Destiny doesn't look that different overall to me, so it's hard to be unique. There's much less emphasis on sets (and less sets), and there's nobody to show off to anyway since the maximum players is 16 in the Tower, and the Tower is boring.
