*****UPDATE*****
NEVERMIND THE PATCH NERFS THE MYTHOCLAST!!!!
I believe Raid Gear should be made available to buy via DLC. A full set of Kabr Titan Armor and a Vex Mythoclast. I'd pay $50-$75 for that DLC pack. It would be a great way for Bungie to increase revenue and also give players who have bedtimes (i.e. Jobs, wives, kids, etc) an opportunity to enjoy some high level its without creating three toons and raiding 3-6 times a week to get all the loot drop chances.
This wouldn't be an unfair advantage because all the items that are for sale in game can be legitimately gained for free. So it wouldn't be pay to win. I can understand why some players would be against this but look at a game like Warframe. They have paid items that are all available through regular play. This would be another method of obtaining endgame gear without "ruining game balance".
Even set a qualifier like "must complete VoG at least once" or "Must have level 29 character to unlock" something like that to weed out day 1 buyers who grind to level 26 in a day.
I would hand over phat stacks of cash in order to use high-level items without having to neglect everything in my life. Just a thought to consider.
-
Hell no. If bungie let's crybabies buy all their gear then they should just make a line of guardian barbie dolls and all the whiners can by the raid gear for their dollies. People just need to gamer up and earn things and stop feeling so goddamn entitled.
-
This is stupid shut up bye
-
HOW ABOUT MAKING THE -blam!-ING RAID GEAR AVAILABLE WHEN YOU BEAT THE RAID. I've done it twice and the most I've gotten were two ascendant shards that I would need if I wasn't maxed out in every armor and weapon on me
-
Heres an idea let every who bought the game after oct 13 get full character builds all exotics and raid gear and nerf everything so it all is fair amd balanced
-
They'll probably raise the level cap , meaning all raid gear grinded will become useless , seems like a bungie move haha
-
This is a new low...
-
Absolutely -blam!-ing not. Most pathetic idea I've read for any video game. No offense...but why would you want publishers to nickel and dime you even more? $50-$75??? You're a maniac.
-
Are you a -blam!-ing moron they shouldn't charge for any dlcs at all due to the fact that the game is missing so much content and is in such poor condition -blam!-ing make gear available to purchase my ass.
-
Like I said last time someone posted this, the bought items should come in a special skin that says "I'm a douche" on the side
-
Hand cannon to the face.
-
No. Commit yourself or settle for mediocracy. Fyi, i don't have raid gear but will never buy it for real money. Try playing Warframe, you can pay to win in that game.
-
Um, no. Are you seriously trying to promote micro transactions? Jeez. -_-
-
Serious buy it? Why don't you earn it! Not everything should be bought most needs to be earned

Lolled.

Edited by UndeadNinja4200: 10/13/2014 8:19:06 PMSuch a dumb idea! This is not a pay to win game. And if they did do that, they would run off the few people that actually like the game. I'm not sh!ting on your thought process, but come up with a better idea.
-
Holy wtf ? Nearly the whole endgame is all about gettimg the cause vog is -blam!-ing fun ! What you gonna do when you instantly are level 30? Tell me
-
Nah man bad idea :/
-
Absolutely! This game needs, nay, demands micro transactions!!! You're outta your mind. Can we not make console games pay 2 win? Let's leave that for the crappy mobile games, ok?
-
It wouldn't be raid gear if you could just buy it.
-
Yay ptw im quitting. ..
-
I will be a little more posditive. I understand you thinking and reasoning behind this. Even if this was available to buy I have the pride to earn it. With that said keep in mind this is not your average run of the mill fps or rpg. It would be like a boss saying if you take no days of you get a $5000 bonus. Then a large group of employees get sick and can't get it. Then when he is handing out the bonuses he gives them to everyone and says oh well you all deserve them. The employees that came in sick and sacrificed personal time did this for nothing. unfair is an understatement. That's why this idea would not work. Do many players that can put the time in and are in this game for the long haul would be jaded and on principal alone would leave the game forever. Trust me I know gamers better than most. The only way I could see doing this would be slightly down grading the raid gears attributes making it less superior but that's already in place with the legendary vs raid gear. Sorry bro good thought though.

Troll? Troll.
-
Please...no...make it stop
-
So you want to make this a pay-to-win game?
-
You seriously wanna buy your way to lvl30? Why play the game in the first place. Smh
