Worse than micro transactions... (Destiny)

What's your definition of "affect gameplay?"

My definition? Hadn't really thought about it. I assumed we all understood what that meant.

Sparrows, swords and a quest are all things that you use in the game that are not just cosmetic - although the Sparrow could be just a re-skin of an existing one so in that case it would not count. But the quest and the weapons do count as something that is "used" for playing the game, things that "affect" gameplay.

From what I've read everything you earn is purely cosmetic. The swords are just the swords from TTK reskinned, and the Sparrow only has 160 speed and no unique perks. I have no idea what the quest is, but I doubt it's actually new content.

I watched a vid the other day where someone went into detail about the quest chain. It was essentially:

1) Complete a story mission with your buddy. Get first RAF reward.
2) Complete ## crucible matches with your buddy. Get next reward.
3) Complete heroic strike with your buddy. Get next reward.
...
#) Collect all rewards

No new content, just running a KinderGuardian through a day in the life of a Destiny addict.

Edit: Thought I was going to be too lazy to track down the video, but it turns out I'd rather be doing anything but working at the moment.
