Buying Cosmetics

[meeesj]

Gonna need some help to wrap my head around on why people are so happy to shell out money for cosmetics. The big allures of online games like this is to be able to display your achievements and gradually kit up your character appearance wise. Relegating that off completely to microtransactions just obliterate any sense meaningful progression.

All cosmetics are in this game is just showing of who spends the most money. Pure retardation.

Engrams from the season pass and bright dust are free, so I don't see what your point is

I never get the idea of needing to feel accomplishment. I don't care if I earned something. If it looks good for my character then that's enough for me.

So what?
You can't buy my raid armour or my titles.
If someone wants to buy a cool looking sparrow that's their buissness.
You can't buy the ships and sparrows earned from quests and strikes so what's the issue exactly?

In all fairness, you no longer get current season gear, only older stuff from those engrams, which triggers me slightly but I'll live.

I do it so I have something different to look at while I’m doing my 500th strike 400th nightfall of 5000th public event. I don’t care about showing off I do it for myself alone.

I don't get why people complain about in game purchases. If you don't buy it whatever, it doesn't change the gameplay of the game. Just play

Looks like you liked some cosmetics in Eververse but too poor to buy huh? Because this post looks like nothing but a cry. The cash shop gives no advantage in combat.

cosmetical microtransactions are a good and common way to keep a service game alive so developers get their paychecks, investors stay happy and players stay attracted. its completely voluntary and thats why its superior to subscription or pay2progress models. The fact that you complain about it is the only act of retardation in this thread.

The best way to do a cash shop is to offer no benefits to the player that would put them above anyone else. When you do P2W you lose players. When you do cosmetics only, you don't lose anything except for people not willing to spend the money for something they want. Bright side, the Devs thought about this too and gave you the ability to earn at minimum 3600 brightdust a week and that is without counting optionals that give 10 per and the engrams which can give small,med or large gifts of brightdust.
