You may emphasis shifts away from XP and towards gear once you up on to detsiny level 20 by yourself or other ways.Levels 20 to 30 are about obtaining high-end gear and upgrading it through a mixture of experience (which applies to equipped items) and materials (which you spend unlocking the extra potential of equipment when an item reaches certain experience thresholds). Your overall character level still goes up from 20 to 30, but instead of paying attention to XP the game is interested in the "Light" level associated with your armour. (Also, although it's not relevant for this guide, it's worth noting that any abilities for your character subclass that you haven't unlocked yet will continue to level normally as you accumulate more XP.)
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
This was back when the game wasn't free to play.
The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).
Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.
Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.
People spend way too much money on cosmetics.
Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.
Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well
It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.
Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

Playing Destiny 1 on PC has been something fans have been requesting for years. It looks like Destiny 1 is now playable on PC via the RPCS3 emulator.
how to level up to 20, i'm still in struggle
Screw vanguard takes way to long...factions....also need raid gear for level 30
*how to maximize*
Not a bad article, but should have mentioned more about the raid. Ascendant shards were the thing I was worried about, but once you do the raid, they come plentiful. I have more then I need to max the two remaining raid gear pieces I am missing. I need some more Energy though, to max out all my exotic/legendary weapons.
