Maybe I'm the edge case (Destiny)

Doesn't help as much if they miss out on that week, or join the game later. Not everyone who will care will be a day one always available player.

They might not wait until the last minute to go for broke on the slots, either, and so might spend a bunch of money on random pulls even if it later pops into the rotation.

Personally, I think it should all be directly purchasable, at all times. Maybe excepting shaders, since those will persist season to season? That way there would be a reason to buy the engrams, still, I guess.

But I actually like the "slot machines" as people have put it. I enjoy randomness and the joy I get when something good drops, or even the hope for next time when I don't get something good. I have never bought anything within Destiny and I don't plan on doing it anytime soon.

I also have never really tried hard to get that one shader, or emote or gun. Maybe that is why I enjoy it. I enjoy the random stuff I get. It is exactly what people have said where it's like opening a present. If it wasn't random it would be nearly as enjoyable to me. It's another reason why I use more stuff. I've flipped to many emotes several times because I've used them before because I randomly got them, if I was able to get an emote from money or in game currency I feel like I would be obligated to always use it.
