I didn’t mean to suggest that items were being unfairly priced by way of conversion. I meant that the RNG nature of buying engrams forces you to spend more money overall than you would spend were you able to simply buy the exact item you want outright (case in point, Speedracer spent $40 to get the Six Shooter emote). You might get the item you want out of your very first engram, but you probably won’t. And you might get bright dust out of an engram, but who knows how much. So just like a casino, there will be the occasional winner that gets what they want right away. But all together, I guarantee Bungie pulls in more money this way than they would it they removed the RNG layer.

Yeah, you're right about them raking in more money with RNG/artificial scarcity. I'm sad Speedracer didn't just wait until it sold from the store and this artificial scarcity has the effect of people spending more money.

Thing is, they might never sell it that way. Or if they do, he might not have enough bright dust at that time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was totally for sale a few weeks ago. I think most, if not all, items will make it through the rotation.

Yeah, see my response I just posted below.

I actually DID wait until she was selling it! But having 3500 bright dust on hand is another issue. :-)
