Inching closer to the line (Destiny)

I'll be the first person to stand up and say "this is a really minor thing". I just feel it is important to see the distinction between these micro transactions and the ones that have come before. Plus, it helps map a trajectory. We've gone from buying emotes to buying vanity armor (which could be infused up to max level) and now we're buying a slightly higher drop-rate for end game rewards. It shows a pattern.

Fair enough. I guess I'm just seeing it from a different angle. Pretty much every purchasable non-cosmetic reward has come in the form of a rep boost. Red Bull: rep boost. Collectors Edition: Rep Boost. Current fiasco: rep boost.

I see a pattern too, but it doesn't involve moving the envelope. It seems that they've found a reward they can live with and are holding the line.

That's certainly possible. I actually hope you are right :)
