The new micro-transatction currency is called "silver" apparently, if we're going to have such a lame system implemented couldn't we at least avoid the low hanging fruit and name it something interesting? We have shards and energy, all sorts of cool sounding sci-fi names yet they go with a generic mobile app currency name. Plus silver kind of implies that there is another tier of premium cash, in a lot of games silver is the free currency and gold is the premium, it's just a terrible name if you ask me. If we're going to get bent over at least make it pleasing to the ear, right? I mean come on, add some kind of prefix to it. Make it "shimmering silver" or "golden age glimmer" anything but silver.

How about they drop the currency and just go straight to your countries official currency. Quit trying to integrate it and just call it what it is: additional PAID dlc.

My gamertag across many years of gaming has always been Quicksilva94. So I'm quite satisfied with the name of the new currency

I've got a few: Unobtainium Precious Tritium Motes of the Traveler's Light Cosmic Ether Shards of an Ascendant Soul Queen's Echoes (in memory of the Awoken Queen) Etheric Coins (Strange coins bathed in the cosmic ether. Perhaps...they come from wherever Xur goes when he leaves the Tower...) Pieces of the Nine (Our wallets are not our own...)
-
Optional currency.

Edited by Guardian9664: 10/6/2015 2:03:20 AMShould just call them "Zeppelins" I mean, they only used zeppelin to say "look who we got!" anyway. Plus they caused zeppelin to go against the thing they originally stood for. Side note: have to get this off my chest Songs like Metallica's "enter sandman" or "master of puppets" and Iron Maiden's "number of the beast" would've fit their release videos much better. How does "master of puppets" not at all fit for oryx?!

SILVER Space Infused Light Vials (of) Euphoric Resonance

Black Mamba Coins... Xur will love those...

Salty silver would be best
-
Bungie Bucks

Too bad they didn't call it Guardian Tears. Today alone has an over-abundance of them.

Diamond dust

Bitching about "silver," what about glimmer haha
-
Out of all things you complain about the name? Okay...
-
Just call them "credits" or something. Silver? Blah thought this was a futuristic space shooter not a bloody Pirate game.
-
Funk money

I actually kind of like it. MMOs and RPGs always have gold, so silver is a pretty cool twist on it.

What about large phallic wallets viciously entering our spread-open butt-cheeks?
