Huh? (Destiny)

Bungie just wants to drive everything through eververse. until that changes, I probably won't be on much.

I know this is an exaggeration but what do you think actually goes through Eververse?

I personally can think of two things that do this:
1. The Dawning (which afaik has been the case since D1)
2. Experience engrams

I get this feeling that people think that Eververse is taking over D2 or something. I know it's because of Microtransactions and all that, so if anything goes through her then it feels like Bungie is stabbing you in the back. I can understand peoples feelings about MT, but to say that there is some slow creeping conspiracy by Bungie to make all pathways lead to Eververse is taking it a little far don't you think?

Again, correct me if I'm wrong on my facts because I'm basing this on memory and mine isn't the best.

All ghost shells, sparrows, and ships for one thing. There are no raid sparrows/ships/ghosts.

I can totally understand that because it's basically extras, not terribly important stuff.

The best looking armor is generally found in Eververse.

That's purely opinion, I for one have yet to find a single piece of armor I like. And the vast majority of armor is elsewhere.

In D1 Eververse started out as just a place to buy emotes, and it gradually got worse.

I never understood this. Every vendor has evolved since the start of D1! Has it gotten worse because the Vanguard vendors changed? How about the gunsmith? I really want to know why it's so bad.

Most of the new gear released in CoO is locked behind Eververse.

You do realize that every piece of gear is locked behind something right? And to say that most of the gear is locked behind Eververse is not true. Last I checked, it was something like 1/3 or something, and half of that was Emotes. Either way, everything is locked behind something. Eververse is locked behind playing the game. Let me say this again, anything you do in destiny gets you experience, which gives you stuff from eververse. Which means, eververse gear takes the least effort to get.

The whole purpose of "seasons" is to entice people to spend money on the things they couldn't get thru engrams before they go away "forever."

Maybe to you. If you want to see it that negatively. I see it as a coming and a going. A mark in time. Gives meaning to the items you acquired past even how you acquired them. I understand that getting rid of items so people grind/pay for them sounds evil. But it's also on the people who are willing to pay and believe they need those items.

They purposely jacked with the XP system to drive people to eververse.

Go on... Giving people engrams for gaining experience is a great way to open up those emotes that Eververse was originally selling only for money. The idea that you think there is some grand conspiracy/money grab....

Bungie is not Bungie anymore. I'm done trusting them with my money and my time. I'll play through the next DLC, b/c i was a sucker and already paid for it. But the next installment will have to be really groundbreaking with amazing reviews.

And that is your choice. It's sad that it comes to this. I just wish people wouldn't blame Bungie as if they were the mafia who has a nice front business to hide all their shady dealings.
