I've spent over 300hrs on this game, and nearly $100 for the base game and the DLC season pass. A new comer would be able to spend $60 for all of it. That's already a $40 difference, without even mentioning The Taken King. Then they ask us to spend another $40 for just the base DLC pack of The Taken King. So now that's up to an $80 difference. That $80 could get me everything and then some with the Collector's Edition. I know my math sucks, but those numbers just don't sit well with me. It's forceful sexual acts, there's another word for it, but I won't say it here because of forum rules, or at least I'd assume you can't say that four letter word here.
What I'd strongly urge all players to do is to not buy the DLC. I won't be dishing out another $40 for content that I don't even know about that apparently has great value in the eyes of Luke Smith... which don't even get me started on that tool bag.
If Bungie and Activision want to fix this, they'll drop the price on the base DLC for The Taken King to $20, and add in the emotes, shaders and class items you'd get in the collector's edition, plus whatever else they were going to include with it that they haven't even announced yet. Heck, even just dropping the DLC price to $20 alone would keep me in the game. But, because I know none of that will happen, I will be saying goodbye to Destiny.
In my head I see a line graph with Destiny's player base just going down after that Luke Smith interview.

Most of the taken King dlc had already been created 2 years ago. It was greed that led bungie to cut it from the game to later sell for a bigger profit. It was all planned from the start before the beta was even released. And there's even more content that was cut so that they can profit further. Il hear more about that in 6 months from now. I only know cuz my friend is a data miner who helped discover the house of wolves content and put it on reddit before it was released with great accuracy It's a 10 year plan in the making
