Mixing real money with in-game rewards is a bad thing. (Destiny)

Guess there is never a need to spend real money on Destiny again if I can just get those items as a reward later on.

old emotes dropping in a mystery bag is just a slap in the face to people who spent real-life money on those items.

I don't know. As someone who spent real world money on a handful of the old emotes, I don't really care. I paid a few bucks to hand pick the emotes that I wanted and have been able to play around with them for a while now. Now that I've had a month or two to play with my new toys, there's a chance that someone could get an emote from a drop, but even then, it's pretty unlikely that it'll be exactly the one they're looking for.

Seems like a fair choice: Pay to get what you want now, or wait for the chance to get it for free later. It's pretty much the same game I play with game releases. Do I buy it now or wait for it to end up in the Gamestop bargain bin or become a free Games With Gold game?
