I’m tired of seeing “it’s just cosmetic.” That’s the dumbest, laziest defense. It’s still in the game, and pretending that Destiny isn’t about looking cool is just asinine.

If they weren’t actively trying to sell those cosmetics in randomized packages, it wouldn’t be as much of an issue. But since they are, it seems really fucking shitty.

I think Korny is right, in that it was possibly designed to reward players who play in shorter bursts rather than to punish those who binge, but the ability to pay real money to make it irrelevant definitely muddies the waters and makes it feel sort of sleazy.
