Rejoice Destiny Players (Or Not)

If you’re a new player, or you finally want to level that new character you haven’t had time to, well here’s your chance. For $29.99 you can purchase an upgrade that will level one of your characters to 25, as well as level a subclass, and give you some telemetries. When The Taken King came out, it also came with an upgrade for one character to level 25, and it was meant for you to be able to experience The Taken King quickly. Honestly, this pisses me off, let me tell you why. Since I became an owner of a PlayStation 4 in October, I was a very active player of Destiny, and my attention wavered sometime after the fun of the expansions came. Even now, Destiny has lost me as a player, I haven’t felt like opening it, and I don’t really find it interesting, maybe that’ll change with a new expansion. But why does this microtransaction make me angry? Well because I was a very active player, I leveled up my characters through hours of grinding, and boy do I mean hours. How is it fair for someone with some money to skip a lot of the grind, not just character level, but also in leveling a subclass? I would say maybe in some cases it’s okay, switching from Xbox or PlayStation, or vice versa. But I feel like it takes a lot of fun out of the game if you’re able to buy yourself into the halfway point. Not to mention from the 25 point it’s relatively easy to level up that character through regular means, it’ll still take some time but why worry about time when you’ve already left behind the biggest hurdle? I think Bungie is making a mistake here, and I’m worried for the state of Destiny, though that is my opinion. If this was a more popular blog I’d ask for some comments below, but hey, I can dream right?
