I don't care about Pay to Win . . . (Destiny)

I hear ya, buddy. It's not the things for sale as much as the things in the normal game which are made shittier in order to make the things for sale more attractive.

I wonder how many of the decisions in the game's mechanics were made under the guise of "this will inconvenience the player and will drive them towards eververse, which will sell things that negate those inconveniences." in a perfect world, it would be zero, but that is clearly not the case here.

Speaking of: I find player choice important. Having to choose between a sparrow that reloads your guns when you hop on vs. one that spawns quickly vs. one that is more maneuverable while riding is interesting and gives the player a sense of ownership over their ride. Having a sparrow that does everything, hidden behind a slot machine paywall, just makes the people who made choices into second class plebs.
