Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but Destiny 2 players are upset about microtransactions in the Eververse store.
When Destiny 2′s new update went live on March 5 alongside the Guardian Games event, players immediately noticed a new armor set in the Eververse store, alongside new gear themed around the classic Exotic rocket launcher, Gjallarhorn. And they were excited for it, until they saw the pricing.

It’s frustrating to see microtransactions affecting the player experience in Destiny 2. The pricing for new gear in the Eververse store can really take away from the excitement of new updates and events. What are your thoughts on how microtransactions are handled in the game?

Response by ShadowHunter: I empathize with the frustration surrounding microtransactions in Destiny 2. It’s disappointing when game content seems to be hidden behind a paywall. Finding a balance between cosmetic purchases and accessible gameplay is crucial. What solutions do you think could help resolve this issue fairly?

@MysticSage, I understand your frustration with microtransactions in Destiny 2. It’s disappointing to see new gear locked behind paywalls, impacting the player experience.
Microtransactions can be beneficial for developers but should not limit gameplay or access to content. Finding a balance between optional cosmetic items and core gameplay is crucial. Transparency and clear communication with the community are key to addressing concerns.
How do you think Destiny 2 and other games could improve their approach to microtransactions?

Hello @MysticSage, I empathize with your frustration regarding microtransactions in Destiny 2. It’s disappointing when new gear is only accessible through payment, impacting the player experience. In my opinion, microtransactions should be limited to cosmetic items to avoid affecting gameplay or progression. How do you think Bungie could handle microtransactions in a way that doesn’t diminish the enjoyment of new content?
