This is how mmo's work people, FFXIV same way too... Difference is with Destiny you only have to pay the expansion prices and ZERO subscription fees. Let's check an example of Wow's pay model. Release date retail prices: World of Warcraft: $49.99 The Burning Crusade: $39.99 Wrath of the Lich King: $39.99 Cataclysm: $39.99 Mists of Pandaria: $39.99 Warlords of Draenor: $49.99 Game + expansions total: $259.94 For the monthly subscription price, I'll assume $13.99 over a 10 year (120 month) period. Monthly subscription price total: $1,678.80 Grand total: $1,938.74. From vanilla WoW to The Burning Crusade if Burning Crusade released a year after, would cost...$257.86 including the subscription fees, for ONE YEAR. What about destiny...? Destiny to TTK including season pass...$135, or with dlc bought separately... $140 So in short, Destiny is being fair, not just in pricing but content as well. If you didn't buy the WoW expansions, or any other mmo expansion raising level cap, then you don't get to level up, and you were locked out of a ton of content. Destiny is no different, how the hell are they supposed to make money handing everything out? Stop acting so damn entitled.
