Also just for the record (Destiny)

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.

I don't think it's premature at all. Bungie has showed us exactly what's possible drops in each package, and the reputation boosters are 3 options out of 14 possible bonus drops you'd get in addition to armor, and we also know they each cost $2. I'm only making 2 assumptions, which are not terribly large assumptions: drops from Sterling Treasure are equally weighted, and from the wording Bungie used on the stream that the items on the right don't even drop every time. All evidence points to those being the case, assuming otherwise is making a bigger assumption.

All that said, I know you're not incredibly worried about it, and not trying to imply it, I was just pointing out things that weren't mentioned in your post so that people would be aware of them.
