[2019] Everyone's moaning about the Bright Dust while ignoring what could really help solve the problem

Put Silver in the Season Pass. Getting Bright dust is worthless in comparison. Put about 1,000 Silver across the course of the Season Pass that players can collect. They're paying $10 for the Pass, so if they complete it, they get that money 'back' in Silver that they can use to spend on something they like in the store. This has two advantages:

1. You don't have to let the Season Pass be purchasable through Silver, just real money. This means they'll have to spend the Silver on in-game items, not just the next batch of content. And let's be real, even if you did allow Silver purchases toward the next season, think of how much money Fortnite is making even though they give you more than enough V-Bucks in a Battle Pass to purchase the next one. People will buy things with the Silver they earn, which means they'll have to spend more money to get the next Season Pass anyway.

2. Studies show that spending Silver will lead players to buy more Silver. I'm sure they have the charts that show this is the case as well. So if you give 1,000 Silver in the Season Pass, players will find an item they like and purchase it. This makes them that much more likely to put more money into the game if they see something else they like.

Bright Dust is nice and all, and I understand player frustration surrounding it, but the real solution is to give players a path to Silver through the Season Pass. That way, we can outright purchase items we want without having to hope they appear on the Bright Dust store. This also allows Bungie to keep Bright Dust as their scarce currency from bounties, while not restricting players in what they can get. You get the Season Pass, you're going to get $10 worth of Silver with it that you'll have to earn.
