What's with all the hate for people who dislike microtrans?

I am in the boat of "microtransactions are probably good for games" but damn, I'm really disappointed in everyone talking trash to other people who aren't in that boat. Get over yourselves, please. People have opinions about the game and should feel comfortable voicing them without fear of personal reprisals. Can we all keep our comments to the game instead of individuals' characters?

If these are actually some inside jokes I'm not privy to, please explain. Right now I feel like I'm reading the bungie.net forums.

Now there's an idea... Shark-with-laser-on-it's-head skin for your sparrow. $1.99 :)

I think what you're seeing is that some individual people here don't like other individual people here, and the topic at hand is actually irrelevant.

I don't even know half the people who've taken time out of their day to tell me I'm a bad person. I genuinely hope I haven't done anything to upset them that I'm not aware of.

I don't have any hard feelings man. I realize I came off as an asshole, but that wasn't my intention.

Apologies for that. The title on my post was supposed to come across as a clever play on your title, but I don't think it came off like that.

I think you'd notice if someone was targeting you, but who cares if you do upset someone here?

Meh.

I have way more fun playing Destiny than posting at DBO. Even playing Destiny with people from DBO, immediately after bickering with them at DBO. Nothing like a little raiding to put these threads in perspective.

You know who else didn't like microtransactions? Hitler.

That thread is hilarious. I'm not even going to post my opinion because then someone else will tell me what I actually think, in a very hostile tone.

Oh well.

Annoyingly, the people who don't care aren't going to post "I don't have strong feelings on this matter," or "meh".

I mean, I did, but normal people aren't.

And the people who do have strong feelings are falling into camp hyperbole we've been seeing a lot of on the forums lately. It's a trend in (at least) online gaming chat. You've done it too. I'm usually of the " He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone" attitude, but we should be reminded of this regularly.

Eventually, if we become hypocritical enough in consistent shaming of this attitude we ourselves possess, we may modify our behaviour accordingly and make the forum a better place.

Choose your words carefully DBO, unless you want to invoke Poe's Law. That said, it seems some of the things here do not equate to said law. Unfortunate.

Is my post meaningless?

Didn't read any of it.

An actual in-game store with cosmetic items? Cool!

My complete reaction. ^
