I would agree... (Destiny)

Bungie now has a vested financial interest in ensuring that players don't acquire these sterling boxes "too quickly", where "too quickly" is defined by the amount of time before a consumer decides that the weekly grind isn't worth the time and pays up.

This means that you can no longer trust Bungie to balance drops according to what is "fun". There is now direct pressure on their designers to find a sweet spot between "fun" and "financially viable".

This is the exact scenario those of us who are against micro-transactions wanted to avoid. It wasn't because we were cheap or stingy. It was because it can directly impact the quality of the user experience.

If. IF this was end-level (or heck, even mid-tier) gear. But it's not. It's borderline just cosmetic gear that you could, IF you were compelled to, bring it up to useful levels, but even then, it'd just be standard gear. Show me one advantage that you get from buying the gear. List a single example of your experience being compromised from someone else's option to purchase the box. Can a person spend $100 on this box and have an advantage over you?
Can they do a single thing in the game that you are locked out of?

There are ways to improve loot acquisition, and definite ways that they could worsen it. This option is nothing but the former, a faster way to decorate your guardian a certain way if you want, without it affecting the gameplay in any tangible way.
