Are you serious?
While you may not like it, people will buy it if they want it.
This is not a Pay To Win game, it doesn't benefit them in any way. Or it won't automatically make you loose either.
It just helps them to unlock faster the item they wanted.
I completely do not understand the whole outrage.
But on the other side, I don't understand why today people get offended by every damn single thing... or nothing.
It's like, people want to get offended and do dramas.
I have everything unlocked since months, all REQ cards and items. And I didn't spend any single $ on it, just all REQ points.
But, I won't complain about people who want to spend money to make it easier.
If you don't like it, it doesn't give you right to decide for other people...
While I don't like the REQ system and I preferred Halo 4's system a lot more, I don't see point.
Also, where is what reward? REQ system is RNG - it gives you random 'rewards'.
That is no reward. You don't EARN your armor like you did in Halo 4, you just press and wait for the RNG system to randomly give you something.
I don't see point of this outrage... Really.
What I don't like are the real-money-only REQs. Like, you have to buy those special HCS REQs with real money or you'll never unlock those items.
People, especially newcomers like that they can get a hold on a power weapon they wanted to get and don't have to wait weeks or months for it.
Microsoft wouldn't do it if people wouldn't want to buy it.
It doesn't change anything for you - you don't have to buy it. At all. If you don't want.
It won't cause them to automatically win either.
So, why the hate?
But, everyone has their own opinion and I respect that.
