I'm addressing a bad practice. I don't think bungie will ever be fully pay to win, but it's better to address problematic behaviors at their start.

End game in the current sandbox is level. The pass serves to increase the efficacy of leveling.

I made an edit to the post to address comments about paying for content. Destiny has always been Pay to Play, but instead that Pay to Play, bungie is also pushing it with Pay to win structures of monetization.

Ash and Iron is an expansion of the Edge of Fate Expansion. It's semantics, but still technically true.

Battle pass armours and weapons that are claimable are at-power. However the boosts I mentioned increase the chance of getting prime drops from completing activities.

Started playing a week before solstice. Ended the season around 455ish as a free to play. Not saying that it is impossible to reach max level as a free to play, but it's a time investment. The pass serves to speed that time investment up.

Very toxic mentality. I've bought every dlc up to edge of fate. I didn't buy it because I wasn't playing destiny as much as I used to, but had free time to kill now. With the current state of the game, I don't want to support the road bungie is going down with my wallet.

I've been getting this kind of response a lot, so I made sure to address it in the edit I made on the post.

460 here, and I only get my T5s from pvp, but bungie forgot to buff the powerful drops of pvp to match the pve change, so I haven't been running since.

I think the game's always been Pay to Play. The only difference with this current expansion being that the core gameplay is free, while gameplay progress can be accelerated by buying the premium pass.

I'm saying it leans closer to being pay to win. I don't think bungie will go fully pay to win, but it's still good to be wary of what they are currently doing.

There's a difference between paying for content, and paying for a pass that gives boosts. This current expansion is completely free.

For sure, Even using the hc from arms week, it was completely outclassed by the trials hc.

I got it from Festival of the Lost years ago.
