This IGN article comforted me somewhat (Destiny)

I view #3 and #4 as the same thing which would mean your line was crossed months ago... unless I'm just horribly mistaken about whats going on. Even then, personally, I don't see it as a problem.

#3 was buying an item that contained an RNG chance for a booster... #4 is buying the booster directly. I'm not the one who used the term "slippery slope", but I do think it applies here :) You are literally saying "we already have something almost as bad, so what's the big deal?"

If someone spends as much as they can they'll get what, an extra legendary once every several weeks? Even if you were constantly getting a 100% boost you'd only get like one extra drop a week compared to me.

If Reddit is accurate, then the boosters almost double your rep gains once you get a chain of strikes or PvP matches happening.

Most of the people I play with have their Vaults stuffed with Legendaries, is one more really going to matter?

I never, ever, said it was a big deal or that it was going to make a big difference to our day-to-day playtime. I feel like you're arguing with a point of view that I am not promoting.

All I've said this whole time is that the game now exists in a state where people who spend money on micro transactions get more end-game loot than those who don't. The fact that it is only "a tiny bit more" or "not a huge difference" has nothing to do with the point I am making.
