[b]Destiny Community,[/b] [i]Destiny was rated 6.5/10 for a reason. I want Destiny to improve so I can keep playing, not get worse so I leave, I like the game; I don't love it (currently).[/i] [b]If you support this, don't JUST vote, bump and comment to get this trending and to stay in the spotlight, a silent vote doesn't work as well.[/b] Before I start please read this poem to better understand our situation [quote]First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.[/quote] - Martin Niemöller (1892–1984) - - - - - - - - - -- - -- -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - Destiny is starting to turn out like another major gaming franchise, you all know who I mean. There is no real reason to provide a collectors editon (CE) for Destiny 1 TTK Expansion Edition, however that would be appropriate/acceptable for a Destiny 2. By creating a CE they have introduced un-timed exclusives which isn't smart as lots of the players like to collect stuff even without the vault space to fit it. Nobody really wanted to pay for this stuff considering long term players have paid more than enough to get up to and including TTK, but because some players don't understand value vs percieved value the community has been slapped in the face with "pay $20 and get 9 items" which is a big microtransaction, if this sort of thing is allowed to stand soon season passes wont allow you to get everything during the 'season'. Pricing is 100% fine for the physical CE and the legendary edition, they are perfectly priced IMO. $40 for TTK is not ok when the previous DLC 1&2 were poorly recieved, I understand TTK looks (so far) like it will be awesome, but you DO NOT get to charge this high a price point to CONTINUE after the initial release was a small rock dropped in an ocean and the DLC's were a couple of ripples through the sea. Charging $20/$25 IMO would be the best price point (the best would be free as a thank you for all the f---ups over the year, but I don't see that happening and don't think it as [i]absolutely [/i]necessary) and this would honestly make a lot of Destiny players feel like you care that they stuck around through all the BS. [b]Stay strong guardians, protect your light [/b] [u]PS: A couple things 1.) Deej doesn't make the game and has no (real) power, don't give him a hard time. 2.) ACTIVISION is the publisher; this means they are the ones either soley or mostly responsible for pricing in the game. [/u]

  • Let me spin you a tale: My son and I have been taking a break from Destiny. We thought "hey let's log into Evolve and see what's new." We log in and in the the last three months there were about $150 worth of micro transactions alone like changing the color of your monster. Then There was a NEW Season Pass 2 that was priced at $24.99 vs the original one which was $15. There were gun skins, etc etc etc... We had a heart to heart about the pricing and he openly felt it was a scam to print money. A twelve year old. Do we have money? Yes. But that isn't the point. Real value vs. perceived value is the point. So, we decided to put our money into a new franchise and we chose Bloodborne. Stacking TTK up against four year development time new IP's like Witcher 3 or Bloodborne makes even a 12 year old recognize real value. TTK is not "really" worth it compared to other games. It might be worth it because of your own list of perceived value reasons. But it is over priced- that cannot be disputed and offering up other overpriced DLC or free to play games that work off addiction gimmicks isn't a proper comparison-- certainly not one you would teach a child. TL; DR: If a game company can work tirelessly for four years and market the game and patch the game and still make money at $60 then TTK is overpriced.
