This is pretty fine, cosmetic microtransactions is not a problem.

I haven't played it yet, we're they lying? Everything I've heard makes it sound huge
I'm glad I didn't get sucked in by the intrigue of TTK. To each their own, but microtransactions are not my cup of tea and are a very slippery slope. Cosmetics to start, but that will change I think.
I don't have a lot of love for Bungee anymore.

This means I am one step closer to having "Well? What is it?" in Destiny.
Make it happen, Bungie. It is the emote we all need.

Seems you've played a lot. It must be good. And have lots of content.
Grinding isn't content, it's a stopgap

There's 14 more you can get. Hop to it.

In MMOs, grinding IS the content and always has been.
Would be fun if you drop by D3 / PoE threads to tell everyone that.

One zone vs four? One raid to one raid? Three strikes to what, six? The content might be denser and better stitched together by quests, but... what?

I'm not an expert on Destiny, but doesn't that game have really shitty DLC practices? What about some free content without stuffing in microtransactions then?
Call me old and cynical, but this is what I read:
"We moved on to Destiny 2. For this year we don't have even as much content as there was in the last two small expansions. We couldn't get away with selling it. So we'll give it for free, because then you can't have high expectations and complain about it. But we'd still like some money, so here's some dances/hats and probably XP boosts in the future."
I also had a feeling this would happen, as I believe TTK incorporates some elements of the next 2 small expansions (the post-campaign Vex and Cabal missions, some MP maps) - they used what they had to boost the perceived value of TTK.

He's just trolling.

Entirely possible. OK with this.
So, did you miss in the multiple recent interviews where they call launch Destiny "Destiny 1" and Taken King as "Destiny 2.0" ?

Year 2. There will be a Destiny 2 eventually.

Would it get to the point where I can buy the best gear and quick level up items with a few bucks? I secretly hope so
Would love to jump back into the game as I adore the gunplay, but I don't have time to grind for exp/gear on a regular basis.
no no no no no fuck NO!

No.
You can already quickly level items by using Motes of Light as of the Taken King, and the game rains Motes upon you like candy.. that was rain.
Yeah a friend told me something like that. Guess I'll give it another shot, but if the game still feels too grindy I'm out.
Apathy will be the death of this industry.
I don't mind.
I just wish they just used the money to set up dedicated servers in pvp (for Osiris at the very least) and release a couple paid sizable expansions (that include new raids) on top of the free events and updates.
Not sure a sprinkling of new stuff here and there is going to keep many people playing till sep 2016.

They'll probably sell those Red Bull consumable XP boosts as well in this store when the promotion ends.

My gut is nodding at this. We'll see.
This has gone live now.
1$ US = 100 silver.
You can buy Silver in these packs
500 4.99$
1000 + 100 bonus 4.99$
2000 + 300 bonus 19.99$
You can return your 30 most recent purchases for silver in-game within 15 minutes of buying an emote, so you can buy an emote, try it out, and return it and get your silver back immediately.

Some people are saying this doesn't work in game right now... And it doesn't actually let you return them... But you can preview the emotes before buying them anyway.
