Toe over the P2W line (Destiny)

Something I notcied on the update page,

Both Chroma and Taken-themed gear can be found in Sterling Treasures. Three Sterling Treasures can be obtained each week by visiting the Postmaster after each weekly reset, successfully completing one Level 41 Prison of Elders activity, and completing one match in the featured Weekly Crucible Playlist.

Additional Sterling Treasures can also be purchased via Tess Everis in the Eververse Trading Company stores.

Chroma is obv. fine, that's a cosmetic. But the taken theme weapons means.... paying real money for weapon drops. So yea.

I actually have a fairly nuanced view of P2W, F2P and such (as my current addiction to Clash Royale connects) but if you are a "NO P2W stuff." In a sense, I wouldn't even by that bothered by it. But I am very bothered by the "NO NEVER GONNA DO P2W!" then slowly sneaking it in.

I'm pretty sure there are no weapons in the Sterling Treasures...

Also, I wouldn't consider having armor or even a single (or set) weapon in a random paid item to be P2W.

Ok, the info on the website was ambiguous.

Still though, in theory you could be spending oodles of money to get the exact rolls you want. Given the new ease of infusion that seems like a thing that would be easy.

If it was weapons, and you could in theory spend your way to a god roll, it would be even more so.
