You have not had any content taken away from you so please stop saying that you have.

Before we start let me say first off I am no "Desticle" I have not bought TTK and I have no intention to do so until I see review scores and impressions that make me feel its worth my $40 purchase. So I am missing out on the new content just like you guys are. I don't drink the Kool Aid. I think that $40 for a DLC is a joke even if it is an "Expansion". I personally believe I am one of the most outspoken critics on the forums regarding TTK and its various scandals. Then why am I bothering to post this you ask? Because I believe in fairness and the ranting and raving I am seeing in thread after thread is not fair towards Bungie. It is a HUGE overreaction and the bombastic claims of being robbed of content and being scammed is just downright idiotic. [b][u]You have not had any missions, strikes, raids, or weapons taken away from you that you have purchased. You can still play all the TDB missions/strikes, HoW missions/strikes and you can certainly still play the vanilla missions/strikes. The same goes for the crucible. You still have every right to play the maps that you have already paid for in the classic playlists in the crucible. [/u][/b] The only thing you have been locked out of is new endgame content like Nightfalls, Weeklies, Raid etc etc. That is not content that you bought that is a [i]FEATURE[/i] of the game. A feature that centers [i]around [/i]the latest content. When you bought TDB you bought the strikes, missions, gear etc etc and the Nightfall then took that content and featured it every week. Now that TTK is the latest content the Nightfall now features THAT content. So no you don't get to do the Nightfall because the Nightfall features new content. Content that you have not paid for. So please stop acting as if Bungie came into your game and pulled all of the missions and gear from your bleeding fingers and pissed on your Ghost. This is how expansion based games have operated for YEARS now. The new expansion comes out with new gear, new missions, and a new level cap. That new content is then featured front and center in every way and the old content is pushed off to the side. WoW, Diablo, SWTOR etc etc have followed this design for years. This is not new and this not shocking. They did it for TDB and they did it for HoW, but they did it on a smaller scale because they were smaller packages. TTK is essentially Destiny 1 part 2. So of course its impact on the day to day functionality of the game is gonna be MUCH more noticeable and much more profound. You paid for content. You got that content. You [i]still have[/i] that content. You can still play that content. [i]Features[/i] such as the endgame activities however will always be geared toward the latest content and if you don't have that content then you obviouslly cannot participate in the features that use that new content. The same goes for the levelcap as well. You paid for the level-cap to be increased in each of the new DLC's that came out because they were TIED to that content and you need that gear in order to REACH that new cap. They have now raised it again and have tied that cap to the new gear. Gear you don't have access to because you have not paid for it yet. So of [i]COURSE[/i] the Vendors are going to be selling the latest and greatest gear. Do you honestly think that they should still be selling old level Vanilla gear like Shadow Price or The Devil You Know even though its been outclassed ages ago? I understand that you are upset that your options are limited now because the content you bought is no longer[i] featured[/i], but don't sit their and claim that it is no longer there or that you no longer have access to it. Because it is and you do.

  • What bungie is doing is the equivalent of going to a grocery store to buy a six pack and being told that I can buy the cardboard wait a few months buy the first beer, wait a few more months and buy the next beer then a year after my initial purchase get the rest of my beer but all the new customers get the whole six pack at once and pay less than what I did. I love this game. I really do. The gameplay is fun, interacting with friends is cool, the weapons and armor are very stylized and fun to look at and play around with. I want this game to be amazing. But bungie shouldn't get to extort money from me to play this game. They're not holding my free time hostage I'm electing to give it to them. Therefore, I get the right to complain. To complain about this dlc being practically the price of a new game isn't being self entitled. It's being frustrated as a consumer. I paid for this product already. I paid 60 dollars for a half completed game and an extra 40 to get the dlc. Now they finally release the other half of the game they should've finished a year ago and want to tack on an extra 40 dollars while new players are paying something like 50 bucks less than what I've invested in. What was the point of me buying this game a year ago then? Why am I buying any game when it comes out? I should just wait a year when games are actually completed and 40 dollars cheaper. Bungie is taking advantage of its fans and punishing the people who basically beta tested this game for a year. So I say everyone should complain about this ridiculous price gouging that they're doing. Not everyone has over $100 to invest into a game to get the full experience. Frankly you bought the game already, you are actually entitled to enjoy the full experience of the product you purchased. Bungie has just been blocking the full game from you and telling you to pay more for the rest of this game to be unlocked. It's wrong and none of us should have to take that as consumers or game. Simply because this "model" has been used before doesn't mean it's right or that I or anyone else has to accept this as the new gaming norm
