Also just for the record (Destiny)

Bungie mentioned boosters will drop elsewhere, not just in Sterling Treasure. (Source)
While I definitely understand the concern, the sheer amount of money one would have to spend for the CHANCE to temporarily increase the amount of rep they receive until they got the weapon they want is probably why Bungie is not concerned about this as P2W.
Yes, I'm aware that buying these packages is not the only source for these boosters. I'd also point out that just as it is premature for people to freak out about "how quickly people will be able to buy their way to new weapons", it is just as premature to defend the system by talking about the "the sheer amount of money one would have to spend for the CHANCE to temporarily increase the amount of rep they receive until they got the weapon they want". The truth is we don't know either way. These rep booster could be rare drops, or they could be incredibly common. If they are commonly found in these packages, then those who buy packages on a regular basis will be able to race through their vanguard ranks substantially faster than players who don't spend money and are capped to 3 packages per week.
Again, I'm not freaking out about anything. I'm not upset. I just don't like that this is even a possibility in Destiny. It definitely feels to me like Bungie/Activision are slowly, carefully pushing the line a bit further with each update, seeing what they can get away with.
