@Dogma just to make things a lil clearer, I am not defending the fact that there's MTX, MTX, specially used in the wrong ways, can destroy a game and its community, I'm defending the fact that there's another viable option instead of paying up, and barely anyone but you me and 1 or 2 others are addressing this alternate route in the comments. And based off of 90% of the comments, majority do not know about that alternative route (bright dust). So I thought I'd shed some light so it doesn't look like Bungie will turn out to be the mini EA, at least not yet. Idk I get mildly annoyed when people take other's word on something that has left out many good details, and amplified the not so good details (for example, alot of comments are calling the game trash and the company scummy just because he left out half of the details on a controversial topic, but they most likely have no idea about other huge game changing things that'll be 100% free like the pvp update, armor 2.0, all strikes and destinations becoming free, all y1 stuff being free, and maybe more who knows). That's all from me, I think I'm done with reading gaming articles that aren't from the company themselves( things like this article anyways, things like the take2 suppmatto stuff is a whole other story). Hope this as well, sheds some light in these dark times of loot boxes and MTX. Hope you all have a great day, (sry for the long responses, debating about stuff is really fun)
@Dogma Better than what we got now with the "dismantle so I can buy something cus I ran out of the tickets to buy eververse bounties cus I spent 5000 dust on armor glows"(it hurt spending all that saved up dust lol), plus i haven't seen anything on whether eververse bounties will be removed or not due to the maybe removal of bright engrams. If they keep the engrams alongside the bright dust bounties when shadowkeep launches with new ways to obtain dust, all seems better than it is now, if they remove bright engrams, but rework the bounties so they no longer require a ticket/token to buy alongside shadowkeep, all seems better than now, if it's only normal ingame bounties that will only drop bright dust, I'd still say it's better than now, there's about 20 bounties in total from all planets/destinations, I'm guessing they will drop 10 dust per bounty completion, so about 200 dust from easy world bounties alone, yeah that will cost a lil more time, but it's easy to buy bounties, plus you got drifter, Ada, calus, eris, vanguard, crucible, and gunsmith bounties. No matter what I see this as a better way to obtain dust than it is now. I'm only speculating that its guaranteed and it's a decent amount that drops, the store itself could get higher prices yes, the bounties might drop less than 10 yes, but we won't know until they say. Plus its cosmetics and they already said there will be other non eververse cosmetics dropping from activities anyways so eh you dont gotta waste your time if you dont want to, I'm definitely not gonna pay MTX. Damn typing eververse is a pain lol, anyways, I'm hoping that they nail it cus I really like the store items, and dust isn't really doing too well right now, but after reading director's cut part 1 2 and 3, I think they'll get it right since they nailed the other changes. Sorry if there's a few mistakes here and there I'm a bit tired, but hopefully this will give you some hope instead of doubt, have a good day!
Like how they left out the fact that bright dust (ingame currency that is used to buy eververse items without the use of money) exists and in shadowkeep, they're adding more ways to obtain it so you can purchase what you want without the use of MTX, plus if you're going for a set from the store, the silver price drops the more you obtain that armor (example: you have 3/5 pieces for that armor, if you want to use MTX to get the rest, it'll cost 60% less so you dont waste all your money). Dont be lazy and take my or the blog posters word, go read the director's cut from bungie themselves. Have a good day!
