Pay-to-win has come to "Destiny". As part of the Festival of the Lost, players can use silver to purchase Treasures of the Lost. This random package could include items that speed up weapons upgrades and glimmer farming. So, remember when Bungie said silver would only be used for cosmetic items? Well, they aren't.
Micro-transactions are a slippery slope. The community needs to keep Bungie from going down that slope. Make your voices hear. Raise a ruckus. Let the Bungie faithful assail your revulsion of micro-transactions and pay-to-win. Let them see your resolve. Until Bungie relents and goes back to making "Destiny" the game it should be, we hold the line.

These aren't cosmetic items only. They include consumables.
Edit: Keep responding. "STFO, "Never go full . . .", "You're an idot". It's all there already. Every reply bumps this post and keeps the pressure on Bungie to avoid going pay-to-win. And yes, I know some Guardians would love it if "Destiny" went pay-to-win and they could just buy a Gjallarhorn 3.0, but that's not the game I bought.

i dont remember these consumables or their already existing equivalents being on everyone's farm list. So no. they dont matter. Waste your money if you want, you will literally gain no advantage over me that i cant already obtain. "but its an xp consumable" So are ether seeds and their ilk, if you have problems getting these items and feel the need to BUY silver just to get something this insignificant, good for you. you bought a package. have fun with it. ill have the exact same fun earning the same stuff you got out of that package without doing anything different from what im already doing in game.
