It's currently been 3 hours since a Taken Blight event.

That's hilarious in the worst way.

I was telling Blue that it was simultaneously genius, and the goodwill-killing douchey Bungie that we know and love (see what I was talking about, fellas? #Kornywasright!).

Genius because it gets people playing, the community is reinvigorated, player numbers and Forsaken buzz starts skyrocketing, and it's all for a weapon that people love, and that will definitely bring folks back.

Douchey because of the arbitrary requisites that players have zero control over, and Bungie does nothing to increase the frequency of it.

So it goes.

Also, the gun has two Ornaments, both of which look great... But they're locked behind Eververse, at $10 each.

I was torn between buying one to support more content and events like this (seriously, stuff like this needs to be more frequent, not tied to marketing for a DLC), since this is definitely a DE-esque move on Bungie's part, and it had way more effort put into it than the Black Spindle mission...
But on the other hand, it's $20 for two skins, showing that Bungie has no intention to slow the Eververse presence in the game, and this is barely the first "organic content" that they've added to the game for players who have paid.

Ultimately I put my money where my mouth was about this stuff and bought the Eris Ornament, because I do think Bungie did a great thing by adding this event, and I hope that they don't just coast off of the goodwill that they've legitimately earned in this one instance.

But seriously... CABAL AGAIN!?
