Changes to Eververse (More Money Grabbing?) (Destiny)

Eververse is now selling old emotes on a weekly RNG basis for their original silver amounts (200/500). While this IS a step in the right direction for allowing us to buy what we'd like instead of relying on RNG, they just made completing collections more expensive.
What I used to be able to do was to purchase all of the blue (200 Silver) emotes and then wait until the next DLC/Update for them to put all of the old emotes in a 200 Silver mystery box. The mystery boxes were still RNG based, but you'd always get a new emote from that pool of emotes and once you had everything, they were no longer available for purchase. So essentially I could purchase all of the blues for 200 silver each and then get the 500 silver legendary emotes for 200 silver through the boxes. That was a win-win situation that they've now eliminated.
Anyway, just thought everyone should here about the change they made.

Sounds like it was a win-lose situation from their standpoint -- you're getting 500 silver items for 200 silver, likely unintentionally.
Not saying I love the change, but I understand it. I don't think it's an overreach in the sense that it was always intended to be that much. So congrats for getting a discount while you could. =)

The way I look at it, Bungie now sells old content (Original game + DLC for instance) for a reduced amount of money. I was able to get a discount on old content via strategic planning since they made you use RNG for real world money for old stuff. I called that a win-win as in they get money for old content that I normally wouldn't purchase since the emotes were not a must have.
Now they just upped the price for old content by taking away the option to get items via RNG.
