I know this is a crucial time for the player base. Rare is it, that crying and complaining about locked off content results in both a public apology and that content being separately monetized at a fair price.
I think a lot of you forgot that the CE sold out in 12 hours after it was made available. The fact that
1. The bonus in game content from the CE is now available at what is a seriously reasonable price,
2. Luke Smith was told to publicly apologize ultimately humiliating himself and admitting what a tool he was (that was pretty sweet)
3. And that Bungie did exactly what the players asked them to do in a timely fasion
and, yet there's a large vocal portion of you still throwing tantrums on these forums:
Quite literally, disgusts me.
Get a job. Mow your parents lawn. Stop spending your money on shrooms for a few weeks (cause you'd have to be trippin' to think that $20 is too expensive for what you get), and realize... you're playing a free to play game with regular content and more attention than some monthly subscription games get. You lucky morons.
Edit: I'm going to leave this reply here since I see alot of you idiots saying the same thing about "Cosmetic /= Expansion DURRRR YOU IS DUMB"
If you think that How or TDB were actual expansion in comparison to other online game expansions then you're obviously new to this whole "Online Gaming" thing.
Let me lay some edumacation on you.
World of Warcraft is the prime example of MMO's I think we can all agree it has served well in it's run time. Because it was a subscription based pay to play game in a persistant world, they were able to have small content updates for patches that were free throughout versions of the game until MASSIVE content updates like Burning Crusade/Wrath of the Lich King/Cataclysm were available for purchase in store or digitally. The subscription costs offset the costs of small content patches that were free and yet you'd still end up paying for the Massive content update from the expansion
Since Destiny does not follow a pay to play subscription system, content costs money. it's called capitalism, checks and balances, and the basic principle of supply and demand.
You need to stop treating TDB and HoW as if they were expansions on the level of TTK.
This may be an issue with defining expansion vs DLC but I think I've made my point clearly

I get paid way more than the average wage in the UK I love destiny and have played it a ton £20 for some cosmetics is a joke. it's the same price as entire previous expansions £40 for TTK is a joke. It's the same price (actually more than) the original game on launch day I could afford it. I could also easily afford to buy bottles of coke for £10 a go. I'm not planning on doing either because I'm not an idiot.
