Well I have gold on the X1 since I'm not the primary account which is gold. Also I don't plan to ever play Destiny since I don't really like FPS. Would be nice if they would implement this for Horizon 2.

If you already have gold, why does it matter if they do it in horizon?

It would mean that more people would actually try and play the online portion of the game.  Also the online portion of the game will be more intergrated into the game kinda like with Destiny. I kinda don't have gold I only have access to online play on the X1 since it only requires one gold membership per console and I'm not the primary account but the main account is Gold.
