Dude, bugger off. Your inability to think critically is showing. You lost all credibility the moment you thought this bypasses the new DLC content. I went out of my way to keep the new DLC relevant while providing another avenue for players. I swear. Do some math and then get back to me.

At this point, Im positive you don't know what "think critically" means. What I'm doing, thinking beyond what I want, is actually thinking critically. What you're doing, "this is what I want and I'll say what I can to justify it," that's the opposite of critical thinking. For Bungie to implement something the community has to benefit and they have to benefit/not be hurt by it. Your idea is good for the community, bad for Bungie. One of the biggest reasons people buy new content isn't for the content itself, but to keep their level up. New weapons and new gear. In no world would Bungie implement anything that would allow players to easily access top-level gear without buying the DLC. What you suggest does exactly that. What you suggest actually makes it easier than how it plays out in HoW. I could give two fuxx about how precious ToO or PoE is. I'm a realist who knows no company will do anything against its financial interests. And even one person not buying HoW because they realize they can easily hit level 34 without te DLC is against their financial interests. So let's have a discussion once you determine why "critical thinking" actually means.
