Meh (Destiny)

To an extent I get meh, as you can choose not to let it affect you.

But for those people who do buy into it, they're absolutely being suckered. I know some people would say "let the idiots pay", but it's still taking advantage of idiots. I'm sure I'll enjoy my free content they've paid for, but it doesn't sit well. This is exactly the kind of thing I was worried about.

As slycrel said - Microtransactions are bad for collectors and while those kinds of people have bigger problems than a skull hat, this is taking advantage of exactly that kind of person. RNG cosmetics are fine. Paid cosmetics as a shortcut are fine. Paid cosmetics as exclusives are fine. But when you get to paid RNG you start turning your skinner box into a slot machine.

Of course, there may be another way to get it and people spending silly money are quite possibly just impatient. We'll have to wait and see. Until then I'm going to run around in this Speaker mask being unhelpful.
