My point is this; the new “Event Card” system is, at best, dumb, and at worst, deceitful.
It is confusing and pointless, and is obviously just another way to push micro transactions in game, but is it intentionally confusing? Is it set up in a way to make people unsure how to progress the un-monetized portion of the event?
If you purchased the event card upgrade, please choose from the options above why you did so.
[u]A.[/u] I upgraded for the cosmetics that were not free. I was aware that a majority of the rewards were not locked behind the upgrade, but I wanted all of the cosmetics anyways.
[u]B[/u]. I was confused by the upgrade option. I thought you had to upgrade to earn all of the cosmetics.
[u]C[/u]. I didn’t upgrade because me smart guardian.
Edit: I realize now that this is a bad poll. It is impossible to accurately poll an informed community on which of them are uninformed. However, I will leave this post up to keep dialogue going and because I still think that the Event Card is a bad system and that it will only get worse in time.

Edited by Guardian6451: 11/6/2022 1:07:51 AMWhen I seen this first in solstice I thought you had to complete all the challenges and guild it in order to unlock the upgrade.once I was told it was a paid extra I just stopped grinding. Most of us here paid for season pass editions.putting more content behind pay walls within these season passes is a bit much in fairness

Anyone that selects B needs to have their head checked.

I did the poll before reading the post💀

Lmao 0% on B 🤣

I didn't and never will. If all the Bozos would quit throwing money at BungLe for crap, maybe we'd get good content and earnable-through-play stuff again...

Edited by Epoc: 11/5/2022 6:58:24 PMThe more people "upgrade", the more it will encourage this sort of greed from Bungie. When they make money from an "upgrade card" on content that used to be included, the more resources go to new ways to cheese extra money out of the player base, instead of going towards game balance. I know which side of the fence I stand on.

Edited by The Hermit IX: 11/5/2022 4:14:21 AMWhy do you care? It’s garbage cosmetics. I’ll buy a great weapon ornament or armor ornaments in the shop if they look cool but the cards haven’t had anything that was appealing enough to purchase them. Play the event without the upgrade. Let people spend their money how they want.

Edited by Quiet_Bushi: 11/5/2022 6:19:09 PMHey Guardian. I didn't Upgrade the Card because I was not interested in it and because I usually do not partecipate to Events in general which are boring and meaningless to me. That being said, if anyone buyed the Upgraded Card and is satisfied with it, good for you. Your money, your choice. No one should judge you and you should not feel bad for spending your money in the way you want.
