[b]Background:[/b]
Last Solstice of Heroes, I spent an inordinate number of hours grinding for my Majestic set (just like everyone else).
Next, I spent over $20 of real money from a real job in the real world for some bad___ looking aesthetics to layer over the Majestic set.
The next thing I know (perhaps the following season(?)), we are introduced to armor 2.0 and we all know what happened after that. Regardless of 2.0, nobody wants to grind to get the same SoH set again. Nobody wants to pay for the exact same aesthetics again.
[b]Proposed Solution:[/b]
I respectfully ask for a credit at the Eververse store - in the amount of those 3 glow "bundles" - in order to purchase new items which we all know are primarily aesthetics, but oh well. Perhaps if Bungie took this action for myself and all affected players, we would be driven to play SoH this time around. Otherwise, you'll "catch me on the flipside"..
[b]Why It Works:[/b]
If credits for the previous glow sets were issued, it wouldn't even hurt Bungie's bottom line, since digital goods cost next to nothing to sell for any company. Lastly, since it's a credit, Bungie is not giving out any real money at all. It is all digital, in their own store.
The only argument against this I can imagine is that credits would cannibalize sales of the new glows. That is pathetic considering the money has already been spent and would remain spent (i.e., never leave Bungie's bank account) so long as the Silver is granted to all affected players rather than full refunds.

You paid for the "2019" glows. "2020" glows are totally different.
-
Cute but that's not how the world works.
-
To bad do it all over again "Luke Smith"
-
Why would spend $20? You could of easily just bought last years stuff with bright dust.
-
First why did you buy them with actual cash? Bright dust is free.
-
Man I really wish Ford gave me money when they came out with the new mustang since I bought a 2019 and the 2020 has some added features. Damn I’ve been cheated.
-
Thanks for the silver and bright dust, addicts. Now get back to grinding. -Bungie

News flash dude. This year armor is called at 1360 light.So it's not gonna be "useless" neither last year was but ok if you think something is useless because has worse stats than the ones that u are wearing now that's your opinion I guess.
-
Or make last years a universal ornament. I mean this years will be.
-
You are not dealing with an honest & ethical company. You will get absolutely nothing.

Bungie seem to think that us sheep will just keep spending cash on pointless sh¡t. It's time to say no. No more time in the game. No more cash in everworse. It's time for a strike, digital picket lines an all. It's time for a players revolution.
-
I agree with what you're saying, in principle, even if a lot of your reasoning is completely off the mark. It would be a nice gesture from Bungie to acknowledge they've handled the soltcie events poorly and as a result a lot of players feel frustrated that they wasted time, effort and in many cases money, for rewards that subsequently turned out to be far less worth it than they were made out to be. Does this mean they will do something? Of couse not, Bungie is consistently proving more and more that thier priorities lie far outside player satisfaction and engagement.

Nice idea but this will never happen

You realize this season's ornaments will similarly only be able to be put on year 3 armor and chances are they'll do something to year 4 armor to make year 3 stuff comparatively unviable just like how solstice 2.0 armor was going to be "viable for the whole year"
-
Why anyone spends money other than DLC and expansions and then complains about it is beyond me, beyond light.
-
No. If you have a problem with that, stop buying stuff from Eververse. It is really that simple.
-
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-
That's not how the fashion world works my friend. 👍
-
Yeah I feel like i got scammed 😔
-
Edited by skf4: 8/11/2020 4:16:00 PMThat is why myself and so many others I know in my clan and DISCORD will not be participating in this years event. We will collect materials and stuff for the DLC. But we don't have to participate to do that😉

The community: “Will you consider doing this Bungie? Bungie: “We can answer that...[i]For money.[/i]”
-
Bungie doesn’t really owe anyone anything I wouldn’t give any credit you got what you paid for
-
Basically you’re asking for free stuff. You got exactly what you paid for... The glow this year is free anyway. And you can just transmog your old armor.
-
I mean, I get the argument, but when has Bungie ever given a refund/credit/reimbursement for money spent on something that was later rectified? For that matter, when have most companies done this? (Legit curious!) Last year, we knew that they weren't armor 2.0 items. We asked that to be changed, but my guess is Solstice was done well before they started effective work on armor 2.0 so they didn't want to go back and fix that armor. Personally, I don't understand the desire to buy the glows. I don't like armor with glows, and that goes as far as the GoS armor, and those glows are minor. Just my opinion, but, you know.
