I actually suggested this [i]exact[/i] system in a bunch of forums prior to the announcement of Ascension in HoW. 1. It requires players to experience the new content directly and completely; gamers get the full DLC experience, Bungie still gets their money, and gamers ultimately get to play the game how they chose to. Everyone wins. 2. It keeps old content relevant. Again; gamers get the full experience on their own terms, are able to chase whatever gear they want, and [i]Bungie still get a their money[/i]. Literally no downsides, haha.
