Perhaps Microsoft should call on the heads of Fromsoft and Square Enix and question if Sony paid them to prevent some of their games going on xbox. After spending the money on Activision Blizzard, there really would not be an incentive to keep CoD off Playstation, vast majority of people are not going to go buy a new console for 1 game franchise. Keeping CoD off Playstation would be a huge hit to the wallet of Microsoft.
When conversations like this pop up over the years it always comes down to voting with your wallet essentially. They are just cosmetics after all. Most season passes have some cosmetic content on it and most of the passes are relatively cheap compared to cosmetic bundles and nether the cosmetic bundles or the season passes are required to enjoy the game.
@esqueejy: Aspect of the Trampled Earth + Natures Fury + Aspect of The Aftershock + Aspect of Nature's Savagery + Symbiotic Aspect works pretty well too.
I figure there is a chance that the bonus, lets say 50% is a 50% increase from your resistance based on intelligence. So if your int only give you say 15% resistance to all, a 50% increase would only increase it by 7.5% for a total of 22.5% VS what ever the bonus is for. I have seen the math done similar to that in games before and makes those stats kind of useless overall. However I have not done any testing or data mining to see if this is true.
@Tiwill44: I agree with everything you said. However one thing mentioned in the article about the platinum currency and the amounts they are sold in is a little shady as there will always be some left over to encourage you to buy more. If anything I would rather have a $$$ amount attached to it as opposed to in-game premium currencies to be honest.
