Koukatsu

I'm not a fan of threads like this. People change, times change, opinions change, and situations change. "I'll never watch Barney," but two kids and 20 years later, guess what's on your TV? So, there is no movie I will say I'm NEVER going to see. Things change. Something I think I'll loathe today, I'm a fan of in a week. You never know for sure. :v That said, at this time, I would not wish to see 50 Shades of Grey.

But if they're so unskilled that it's going to wreck your online experience, they should be easy to avoid grouping with, so this entire point is pretty moot. Again, who cares? It doesn't have any effect on you, unless you're clinging to the "bad nubs will wreck my online experience" thing, in which case, if they're so bad, they should be easy to avoid grouping with, right? Yes, that is one of it's many flaws. Trying to call it an MMO instead of just allowing large-scale co-op. - - - - - - - Look, I'm not going to waste the time or energy calling out the rest of your post. The short version is, if it's such a bad thing they've done, and you're fear of what they may continue to do is so great, you really only have one option: Stop playing. That's what I did after I got bored after I finished TTK's story, and about five raid groups fell apart in the (new at the time) raid, because people had school, or work, or got frustrated that we couldn't do one perfect run the first time some of the raid members ran it. Then they added microtransactions, and you know what my reaction was? "Meh." As much as I love that game when I'm in the mood for it, I am rarely in the mood for it. I couldn't care less if they add "buy super weapons nao with realcash, yo" to that game. If/When I go back to it in a year or more, I'll work my way up from 40 to the new cap, and I'll play without paying for microtransactions, the same as I have. IDGAF if other players have super weapons, or if they bought their levels. Other people not working hard does not devalue the hard work of those who know that their own ability is earned. So, to relate this back to the OP, again; My thoughts remain the same as my first post. IDRC. People will pay for it if they think $45 for half a days effort is worth it. If they feel that price is too steep to pay, for too little return, they won't pay it. Bungie has already implemented it, and there's not really anything anyone else can say to make them stop. We're talking about a company who decides how players can or cannot play a game that they've payed for to begin with.

But again, this has no bearing on you. If they skip "vanilla Destiny," and never play the story once, that's on them. Who cares? False. I played the game solo, because when Destiny first came out, I almost immediately had to leave town, and all my friends managed to get sick of it before I had come back to town. The campaign is easy to blow through, and the raids are easy enough to get a group for on the Destiny forums. The TTK edition with the boost is cheaper than buying Destiny and all the DLC separately, so... You want they should spend more money, and lose out on the "free" boost it already comes with? Again, I cannot see why what someone else does is up to, or has any kind of effect on, you. See my response below the second quote in this post. Oh yes, I feel so soiled that there are warlocks out there who didn't go 1-40 like mine did, with effort. And every Titan should feel like crap over how easily I hit 25. Also, Hunters should feel like crap, because I have it on two consoles, and therefore got two boosts. I am such a jerk. This sounds like a personal issue for you, and the people who feel like you do. I, on the other hand, know that I raised my warlock to 26 or 27 before they removed the light levels. That she got to 40 on experience, skill, and effort. And other people making it to 25 because they spent money on it does not invalidate my time, experiences, or efforts I put in. It doesn't remove the people I met and became friends with in the time I spent working on my character. It has ZERO, absolutely ZERO bearing on my character, my achievement, and the work I put forth. Yes, to the player. If someone else would rather never feel that, or even feel it only once instead of 3 times, who are you to tell them they're wrong, and should feel bad about the way they choose to live their lives, and play their games? Again, maybe the leveling itself is not rewarding to the people who buy their levels? And if what you mean is that they are making you feel each level is less rewarding, I can only hope you find a way to get over that issue.

Well, I agree with @Simon. @Lightwing, just to watch the world burn. The other night at a Christmas party, some coworkers learned of this trait of mine. c: *scurries off, remembering to tell that story in the poniverse group* I don't believe so, but I did get a thread locked once, before I was staff. Because reasons. Shush. D:

Koukatsu is as Koukatsu does. Plus, I'd finally have an equal in life. "Sweet, somepony as ballin' as I am." Teehee.

If it were hard to climb from 1 to 40, I'd agree with you, but it's really not. Especially as monotonous as leveling is in Destiny. I got a 1-25 boost with TTK, and I used it in a heartbeat. I wasn't grinding through that crap story again. If somebody wants to blow their cash to do the same, who cares? It's not like they're running around the worlds PK-ing, it only has an effect on how fast you hit 40, and not even a very big one. It's entirely possible to hit 40 in a day. With that boost? Half a day. If you do or don't have the time, and you do or don't have the money, it's got nothing to do with anyone else. Now, you tell me they spend $45, get a boost to the maximum level, and get super weapons that can only be gained that way, and ruin the game balance, that's another story entirely, and that screws everyone who plays. But that isn't the case here. The case is half a day of grinding. This "unfairness" you're claiming doesn't even come in to play. Additionally, the OP isn't asking about fairness, he's asking for opinions on the ridiculousness of $45 for half a day of your life. To which I re-state: "If people want to waste their money like that, that's their problem, yo." Half of my day is worth about $130, according to my paystubs. Teehee.

One-Punch Man. ...I think the season is over. D:

Given that the most recent movie uses many of the previous actors in their same roles... Remaking them would be a pretty stupid move, IMO. :v "Oh, cool, Han Solo! Wait, why does he look older than he did in SW7?"

If people want to waste their money like that, that's their problem, yo.
