Your example is by no means the worst offense (Destiny)

I got an exotic ghost shell from one of my bright engrams.

And exotic ghost shell (The Electronica Shell) which, as one of its perks, gives me INCREASED LOOT FROM PUBLIC EVENTS on ALL worlds. I frequently get an extra purple from public events now, in addition to my normal blues, and in the last few days, I've also gotten 2 exotics from public events.

This is by no means the only pay to win ghost shell eververse sells.

The Star Map ghost shell detects caches within 50 meters and increases glimmer gains. On ALL worlds.

The Cosmos shell increases XP gains by 10%.

The Fire Victorious Shell gives you more faction tokens from strikes and gunsmith telemetry data from kills, again on ALL worlds.

And the Fast Lane shell makes your vehicle summons faster (okay that's not game breaking at all, but it is convenient).

My point is that these shells provide clear and sometimes dramatic advantages over non-eververse options. *There's* your slippery slope.
