I hate this model, still. (Destiny)

by Ragashingo , Official DBO Cryptarch, Wednesday, July 22, 2015, 17:32 (3511 days ago) @ Cody Miller

I loved ME3's MP. I hated the totally random nature of the drops. I always got Baterians, and there are still some weapons that I never unlocked. Asking for real money for extra chances to disappointment just added to the frustration. Just think how much more people would hate this game if they blew $100 trying to get a Gallerjorn, only to have it nerfed a week before they got it?

Which is one reason I DON'T think they'll add micro-transactions to Destiny (at least not related to weapons).

I agree. Personally, I think adding cosmetic items would be the best option.

The fact that people are even talking about adding microtransactions to Destiny is indicative of the game's failures. News flash: they are not short on money and resources. They are the best selling new ip of all time according to activision. If they can't give you what you want now, they won't be able to with micro transactions.

And yet another very popular and well funded scifi IP used a microtransaction model to Massively great Effect. The reality that it can work and can work well is right in front of you.
