This is 100% a fantastic thing. (Destiny)

It's not, and there's nothing wrong with saying it. I'd prefer not to be painted as chicken little here.

And I'm not trying to do that. Seriously.

I just really don't think this is an issue at all. I seriously don't think it would be harmful if Bungie did sell Motes of Light, or Sparks, or whatever. As long as they don't do the obviously bad things like gating unless you pay. As long as they don't make Motes drop less often if you don't pay. Things like that.

Also, I don't see them as attempting to cash in on people's OCD or anything. I don't mean this callously, but if you literally can't prevent yourself from spending money just to complete a collection of digital (useless) items in Destiny, or just to fit in with your friends, you really have some issues and need to evaluate the things you're doing. I truly don't see how that's Bungie's problem. It's not their obligation to prevent you from doing stupid things. I also don't see this as encouraging that, though. It's about self control and how you value your money and time.
