I, your target consumer, was just about to give you my money.... but I'm not sliding down that slope with you and I'm done next step you take.

The Festival was a fantastic, fun surprise. The decorations and the soundtrack straight from the "spooky graveyard" record from the halloweens of my childhood made me laugh. The masks are ridiculous, superfluous fun. If this was the kind of thing that the Eververse is funding, I thought, I'm willing to support that. I'm an adult professional with a career that affords me the disposable income to Throw Money At The Screen if the whim takes me, and not think twice. But I'm not giving you a damn cent if it gives me a leg up on a player without the funds. And what is in those treat bags? Grind-skipping candy. It is such a tiny leg up, but it is one. They do the same things as telemetries, or wax idols, or ether seeds, and those drop for everybody so easily.They're not the value of buying those packages. I can't imagine anybody buying silver to get those. But they're a tiny step down that slippery slope you REPEATEDLY PROMISED you weren't headed down. So soon? So gosh darned soon you're sliding toward pay-to-win? Pay-to-skip-the-grind? Nope. Not buying a single sliver of silver. And if you offer another advancement tool for silver, I'm done on principle.

    I remember people on this forum swearing up and down that Bungle would never, [i]ever[/i], [b][i]ever[/i][/b] sell anything that would affect gameplay in any way, shape, or form whatsoever, that everything sold for silver was and always would be purely cosmetic, and that anyone who thought differently was a paranoid conspiracy theorist who needed help from a mental health professional. To anyone who said the microtransactions would [b][i]always[/i][/b] be purely cosmetic: no matter how you rationalize this latest step, you were wrong. And you owe sincere apologies to everyone you insulted. PS. Told you so.
