Me bending over has nothing to do with this o.O And I dont even care about trading, whats the point in trying to earn a exotic then? it would just flow around like glimmer at that point. How would gambling even work? what would we gamble on, and why would it matter? xD I dont see the point in gambling either, for what, glimmer? that aint nothing. gambling for exotic weapons? that would still require trading, and then it would me closer to Borderlands at that point. Likely they cut it out so they could try and sort out a few other problems such as the networking, which is still a major concern now. Not much we can do to play the game when we cant even log in and stay there, so whats the point in releasing all that? Try looking a bit more into the big picture. You dont simply create art by imagining the idea, you do so by trial and error, learning the different way the colors blend together to form what could be labeled as snow covered tree branches shimmering in the morning sun. Nothing is easy, and we all know this is Bungies first attempt into this game field, the fact that I can come back and enjoy it almost every day is a sign of its success for now. Whether I have to pay for more later down the line is still my decision, just as it is yours, if you dont like paying for it then dont. Simple enough.
