I almost wanted to say I think that's more than I've ever played games for, but then I remembered how many days I put into Runescape...

Micro transactions aren't an issue as long as content isn't restricted to these. As far as I can tell it's only xp boosts and increased drop rates.
If people want to spend their own money to give themselves a little boost, practically destroying any enjoyment they can draw from it, rather than actually playing it that's their decision. It doesn't take any fun out of the game for you.

I haven't played recently, so feel free to call me out on any of this.

Luke smith just tweeted today that they never will and never were going to sell the xp items or drop rate  for silver

Take off your spin metal hats everyone there's no grand conspiracy here.

Why are these emotes randomly more expensive than every other one when they are all cosmetic?
They want to make more money plain and  simple.

Even the shills over at Planet Destiny are pissed off by this.

This is the fucking shit that irks me, and why I'm so adamantly against these publishers. It's why I play their expansions illegally.

They have different tiers of emotes, and the Legendaries cost more. They knew which ones would be more popular, and made those ones just expensive enough to necessitate a $5 purchase.
well I mean if they made all the emotes cheap enough to get with the free silver why would anybody buy it?

169 hours played, and that's with leaving the game on a lot during college.

Also, Lukems confirmed they won't be selling any raid buffs:

I imagine the consumables are similar to the pumpkin heads from last Halloween.

That's 200 days...

Literally how. I no lifed Halo Custom Edition for nearly 4 years and ended up with 3500 hours. To have nearly 5000 hours in just over a year is insane. Do these people have any form of lives?

Oh no....

Holy shit, 2700+ hours?

That's literally 7 hours a day, every day since launch. This guy needs to reevaluate his fucking life, immediately.
Jesus...

I mean I once saw a shitbucket on BF3 with 3000+ hours around about the two year mark, that was pretty damn disturbing but to think someone could play destiny that much...

Then again, when I think of some of the people I know/knew who played destiny religiously it's not exactly surprising that they hit that kind of milestone.

No Job
No Studies
No Dependants
No Partner
They live with their parents at the age of 28 (give or take a few years for the different people)

Sadly it's not just a joking stereotype, there are people like that and Destiny draws them to it like flies to shit.

1. Because you can only buy two of them (you should only be able to buy 1 Legendary (400 Silver an emote) or 2 Rares (200 Silver an emote). Really, the problem is them choosing which ones are cooler and selling them for just enough to warrant a purchase of another $5.)

2. I assume more are on the way.

3. They will be selling starter packs and XP boosts in the future.

This isn't confirmed, and is unlikely since they've said purchases will be cosmetic. Even then, a small fee to get to the starting point of the current content isn't a big deal. It's common in MMOs.

They've failed to clarify whether the XP Boosts will be sold. All they confirmed was that the increase drop rate items will NOT be sold.

They left out the XP boosts which leads me to believe they're coming.

Which is why I said it's justifiable.

With what you got you could buy 2 emotes. But there easily would be tons of people that want the others or new ones and would spend the money

I know there is a streaming group that tries to play 24/7 so they basically switch people over and over

Why do people still support the hollow shell that is the current Bungie? Even if I liked the game, I still don't think I would continue playing just because of how they treated their community and this game.

Playing with friends is a fun experience, and people don't want to feel guilty for enjoying something so corrupt. So they push out any thought that Bungie isn't perfect or whatever.

They're legit trying to implement it.
