This may have already been brought up, so apologies if I'm repeating things here. This week's Planet Destiny podcast just came out, and the hosts made a very good point about this new system. One of the items that can drop from these new packages is a Rep booster that increases your gains with the Crucible and Vanguard vendors. We know that the only way to get the freshly reintroduced Year 1 Legendary weapons is from rep packages from the vendors.
So...
Players can now spend real money to get rep boosters which will help them get new weapons faster/more often.
Personally, I wouldn't say it is the end of the world but it is absolutely a step over the line. A bit problematic at the very least.
I'd say your almost looking for reasons to be offended at this point. At the very least, "over the line" has moved from paying real money to get a weapon, to paying real money to have a chance to get a minor boost to leveling up a vendor who might give you a weapon. I wonder where it will shift to next...
Someone might get stuff slightly faster than I do? But they still have to play the game and likely have to sacrifice existing weapons to make their classics viable? Where's that WHO THE HELL CARES graphic when I need it?
