Ah, so it sounds like they're going to opt for microtransactions instead. Which is fine if they don't make an already medicore game worse.

But again, I'm gonna wait for Taken King to be like $20 before I even consider buying it. Which shouldn't take long.

Microtransaction only for emotes they said... they will never do for ingame weapons or gears (they said that not me... so if they lied it is not my fault).

And I guess it is working... the Thriller Dance made everybody buy it (yeap I spent money to buy the emote).

I imagine Silver will be for cosmetic stuff at first. But maybe Silver will become traded for other currencies in the game. Hence, it will likely be turned into a time saver at some point. I don't think they will ever outright sell weapons and armor for Silver.

Frankly, I'm okay with that. If its just a time saver and the game itself is balanced well to not make microtransactions feel necessary, no harm.

And again, I prefer them going a route that doesn't split the audinece like TTK did.
