This isnt EA[/quote] People already pay streamers $35 for a Trials Recovery. You can sit on the stream and watch the streamer log onto other accounts. I know if at least a couple of streamers that are playing Trials 12hours+ each Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday but still don’t have enough time to get all the weekly paid recoveries done. The same applies to Raid and quest recoveries.

  • Those people are idiots. But its still their decision and their money. Paying for these kind of services is bad, but lets not pretend that everything would be better if Bungie started these services for a cheaper price. It might be worse for it is corporate greed.

  • I just gave Bungie a reason to lower the price of cosmetics realistically and gave them the means to gut the 3rd party profiteering. I don't need to pretend that it's better. It's clearly better.

  • No, youre giving them a reason to put more stuff for sale in eververse. How can anyone support that?

  • I cant even... plz just stop. Thats a whole different conversation. The issue that I have with your ideas is that instead of making stuff available through world drops or quests or maybe for you to put in some effort, you straight up say: well lets put everything thats worthwhile to get in eververse, because I am too lazy to put in any effort, which basically makes you the same as all the recovery fools. Youre too lazy to play the game. There are so many possible solutions to this problem, yet putting everything in eververse must be the worst Ive ever heard. Selling weapons through microtransaction is crossing a line not many companies can pull off without bad media. Definetly not Bungie.

  • A year after the content was relevant. This is what Bungie is doing with Eververse armor and they should be doing it for weapons after sunsetting or retiring content. There isn't a big leap to move on from weapons since purchasable weapons would have last years power cap and not the new one. This would also mean Destiny would be more inviting. and with more approachable cosmetic items at lowered prices, which them makes other content more approachable. It's just a win-win for everybody involved. Except 3rd party profiteers.

  • The armor pieces are cosmetics only, thats what eververse is for: cosmetics. You simply dont want to play the game. There already is Xur, wat more do you want? You want trials gear without playing trials, well thats never gonna happen, and anyone who has got it through 3rd party knows they did not deserve it. Either way, everyone can make their own decisions. If you are willing to 100$ for flawless? Go for it, youre an idiot imo, but more power to you. Selling the Trials armor/weapons in Eververse for money is just counterproductive, because why would anyone ever play trials then? 'When a lot of people are using crystal meth, Im having a hard time to believe that the government of that country would say: "well, then lets sell it ourselves, so there is no more meth crime, problem solved."'

  • Wasn't talking about Trials, since that content isnt going anywhere. I'm not talking about all content avalible now, I'm talking about content that goes away where it's items become unobtainable. Realistically, aside from exotics, weapons themselves are ornaments. You can get the same rolls on another weapon that looks different.

    In my opinion it would be better if Bungie just sold the gear directly, so long as there’s always a way to acquire the items through gameplay. Instantly removes the paid carries and recoveries.

    Nah. I'd say the majority of people who pay for these services, aren't exactly patient*. They wouldn't wait a year, to buy it on sale. They'd still pay that full price ( haha ), to get it now.

    and what would be the problem? Doing this doesnt hurt any player because you're getting exactly what you want, unlike loot boxes. This also leaves room to retire content regularly but still be obtainable. Where are the Raid exotics going to go when past Raid get vaulted? Enough time would've passed for everything to have it's time to be sought after. When the new yearly content comes, the focus should be on that content. Exotic should, and will eventually, be sunset as well. So having the option of just outright paying to experience the weapon in regular activities, not Pinnacle, is just good for everyone, the game and Bungie gets funded for their next DLC or secret mission.

  • Youre delussional if you think that paying money is the best option here. And nobody has ever said that exotics will be sunset. On the contrary, exotics are the only gear that dont have a max power leven, so Im having a real hard time taking you seriously.

  • Give it time. Our investment into our gear was supposed to be respected, and now sunsetting was the best choice going forward even though the majority of people either, don't care or hate it. Nobody is overly enthusiastic about it. A tough choice had to be made. Absolutely nothing is off the table.
