People right now are on the side of !DOWN GOES EVERVERSE!, which is good, but be mindful to what the problem with eververse is.
List of what it isnt ( I will cover why they arent after)
* Paywall for everyone so they need to buy silver
* Filler for missing content
* Gambling system
Before you click that down arrow, yes eververse does TOUCH, but by no means is it any of these points completely. The ROOT and the definitive truth is progression is all based off of eververse and what is eververse selling for us? COSMETICS! That's right, the problem is their is no end game because every new thing we earn is purely cosmetic and doesnt enhance our game, there is lots of new stuff but its ALL purely cosmetic and replaceable. When they include new content as pure emotes, shaders, ornaments and other things it makes it so the whole grind that people lived for is gone because it's useless, RNG, and well useless
TL;DR: it's not pay2win, its the progression system is shit and eververse is the filter
KNOW WHAT YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR!

Back when I was a kid video games were $50. 00 USD. That's equivalent to over $90.00 today. Over the last 25 years the budget for games has grown substantially. We used to see teams of 10 to 30 people give me a single player campaign over 8 hours long for well over what 90 dollars in today's currency. Now we're looking at a whole company, in this case BUNGIE, that literally is expected to continue to produce content to keep you constantly entertained WHILE PAYING THEIR WORKERS ENOUGH TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES. I bet you all watched star wars this month. Take all the money you paid on watching star wars, divide it by the hours the movie lasted. Take all the money you spent on destiny and divide it by the hours you played destiny. I would be shocked if you didnt end up near just over a dollar or two per hour of entertainment. This endless complaining about bungie selling cosmetic upgrades TO MAKE THE MONEY THEY NEED TO PAY THEIR EMPLOYEES is ridiculous. Blizzard doesn't get crap over their micro transaction system despite how simular it is. Hearthstone constructed is clearly Pay to Win and nobody says a word. I'm assuming most of the anti eververse people on this forum are children because they actually have the time to pull this crap. Grow up.
