So what do you think they're gonna sell that's so bad, considering you clearly know more about that than me. I could foresee a level 40 boost, maybe some low light weapons and armor (like the vanguard pre-order) but nothing game breaking. Look at planetside. They have plenty of items you can buy with real money (way more than destiny) and there game is certainly not pay to win.

We clearly have a different perspective on simply the concept of microtransactions. I don't care what they sell. I find them unethical and anti-consumer at a philosophical level. If Destiny had microtransactions in it when the game launched, I never would have bought it out of principal, because I don't want support this type of business practice in games.. So the fact that a game that I truly loved, and put in hundreds of hours into in year one, with all intentions to put thousands more into over the next several years, added this mechanic that I find repugnant, feels like a betrayal, and has quite literally ruined the game for me. I totally understand if you don't take as hard of a stance on the topic as I do, but that's just the reality for me.

In this case it seems that I should just give up on this argument because of the fact you see it as ethnics and I can't necessarily tell you you're wrong in that aspect. I don't think it's going to get into a pay to win situation, but I'm probably thinking of pay to win on a different scale than you. You think micro transactions are bad and any bit make a game pay to win, I see it as something that breaks the game and is almost impossible to obtain without means of real payment.
