But it is just cosmetic. A reskin of a very very very easily obtainable item, one that has almost no effect on gameplay. After about 50 hours of playtime, your at the point that glimmer is almost useless to you and you always have max (I got so tired of seeing craptarch notifications I blow through 15,000-20,000 glimmer every two days on ammo synths, just so I'm not at max) They had yet to cross a line to worry about. I understand your concerns, I have the same worries. But I'm trying to look at this logically and objectively. No matter what are opinions or worries are, the only way to know for sure is time. I'm out once it takes a turn for the worse. However, I personally don't see an issue with holiday and event consumables. Because that's all they are. It's a holiday event, one where you can get everything without spending money. And it's not all that hard, removing a heavy pay to win worry. If it took so long that's it's impossible collect everything without paying, then it's a worry. For now, they've balances it decently this time around.
