Dear Bungie (and Activision)
I, as a day one player, won't be purchasing the new expansion for $40 when I end up spending $20 more than new players (even more because I bought the Ghost Edition but we'll ignore that and just assume I bought the vanilla game) and they get cool exclusive content like exotic class items (with permanent XP bonuses) that loyal players don't. That's where I draw the line. I want those exotic class items but I'm not going to be suckered into spending $80 to get awesome exclusive items that noobs get while us loyal players are left in the cold. Not cool, Bungie. I think you're going to lose a lot of devoted fans over this bullshit. If you include all the new exclusive digital content with the $40 expansion for players who already own the previous games and expansions, there's a chance I might purchase it. If not, I'm going elsewhere and it's been a fun ride. Really disappointed in the dishonest marketing on display here. Why would you punish your most loyal fans? It's a sad day. /rant

I totally understand. I know most overlook this subject, saying that they don't care and all. However, I don't have a problem paying 40$. What I have problem with is that I have already spent 100$ on this game. If you include the 40$ for the new DLC (which I will buy), that adds to 140$. The new players spend 60$, get all DLCs, and extra things to enhance their game playing. I have been playing since Christmas, and have put many hours into this game. I think it would be fair to at least give the people who have HoW and DB beforehand something special in return. I'm not whining, I'm just saying that something isn't right here.
