Micro Transactions Don't Belong in $60 games.

There's no justification for it. Even if I don't spend a dime myself doesn't mean it's not sick that I paid for this game and every expansion pass and still have items blocked off from me. It doesn't matter what items your selling. It doesn't matter how cheap they are. You're taking advantage of people and it's wrong. It's not a debate.

  • What is with the knee jerk reactions to the microtransactions? Theyre not even essential to anything. Anything made content wise after your initial purchase of the game is fair game to be sold. Quit crying. Youre not being locked out of anything.

    • We've all spent $130 so far for the games and expansions. I think that's enough to give all an equal chance for the same items. Hope you guys do the right thing and hold out on the emotes.

    • Say it with me. M-M-O's. This is how they tend to maintain free dlc/updates. And lowered cost of expansions. Look at WoW, ESO, SWTOR, DCU, etc. They all have some form of a micro transaction. And it works pretty well for them. I keep receiving monthly emails from SWTOR that new dlc has downloaded to the servers and that we should go to these new areas and try them out. And I only bought their starter pack.

      • Wtf lol. Dude why do you care? It's not game breaking whatsoever. Just emotes. And it's optional, it's not like you buying an emote will make you insta kill oryx

            • They're probably selling the dances because people don't want to pay $20 for the add on

            • You sir need to pay more attention. Free content until next major content? Seriously? So you'd rather buy two more dlc this year? Yeah didn't think so.

              • This is probly the most tasteful micro transaction ever. They even state they are giving free silver to everyone and say they are doing this to fund a fresh game that will be constantly changing over the next year.

                • You'd be right... If this was a static game. It's not. This is to cover content drops till September 2016. If people don't like it then they'll just go either to a subscription model or back to small Dlc content drops like the dark below @$20 a pop because the game needs new content every quarter to stop people leaving it, and content can't be free It's also how rock star funds gta online and all manner of mmos fund their content drops

                • I agree. People don't get how just because it's optional doesn't make it okay. This is especially true of Destiny because it's all about loot. How about I get the option to earn new emotes? Because right now the ONLY way to get emotes is to purchase them. That doesn't bode well for the future. This will be successful. So all of the best shaders/sparrows/ships will all be for purchase, not for us to go grind for them. And that is bullshit.

                      • Well since you've said it's wrong it must be true. Maybe we should have the development companies go back to creating a game and then leaving it alone?

                        • Just silly. It isn't taking advantage of anyone to sell dance moves or other cosmetic optional items.
