You need to take your foil hat off, or at best accept that including some glimmer earning/weapon +exp items isn't going to break the game at all. These are items that are A) Completely redundant to high level experienced players and B) Actually quite useful for people just starting up. This is a Halloween event and they probably wanted to include more fun things in the bags than just a single mask on it's own, that's not very interesting or in the spirit of the occasion. Rather than including re-skinned three of coins/motes of light or sparks of light they chose to just add these small items. I appreciate that I may eat these words if they start selling things like engrams/three of coins/strange coins etc, but just give them a bloody break. They dropped paid DLC for micro-transactions, micro-transactions that a lot of people will enjoy and happily buy. So they will essentially pay FOR YOUR expansions.
