And to add to that... (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.

You might just end up with a Devil You Know with Vacuum and Fighter (aim behind cover). Cruel fails to see how ridiculous that complaint is, so let's put it into perspective:

You pay real money for:

A slight chance to get the correct booster,
Which has a slight chance to grant a weapon when you level a faction,
Which has a slight chance to be the weapon that you wanted,
Which has a slight chance to be the roll that you wanted.

How many Imago Loops has Nico gotten, again? And he still doesn't have a good roll?

Heck, the pool of Halloween masks was fairly small, and people paid Thousands of Silver without getting the Blue Skull. I think we're going to be okay.

Korny, you're missing the point. Yes, getting good rolls may be extremely rare. But that will be the case for ALL PLAYERS. The difference is that players who don't pay extra are capped to 3 packages per week. That's 3 chances at these boosters per week. People who pay money will get more than 3 chances. Therefore they will have better chances at getting more weapons and more opportunities to get the roll they want. The question at this point is "will it be enough of a difference to matter in any way?". We don't know. But the fact that people who buy packages get any advantage, even if it is a teeny tiny one, is crossing a line that bungie has not crossed before. And it feels gross to me. That's all.
