Bungie Makes Changes After Backlash to Eververse Armor in Destiny 2 Playlists

Bungie apologized and made changes after negative response to a State of the Game update, including putting an Eververse armor set as drops in Ritual playlists.
This is a nice addition as cool armor to earn is usually limited to harder activities like raids; gives reason to play basic playlists.
Downside is having to use transmog slots to customize earned armor, when buying it wouldn't have that cost.
Still selling other cosmetics like season pass ornaments, and will sell Festival of the Lost armor.
A small but welcome concession amidst ongoing monetization concerns; hopefully more improvements without needing player protest.
