I was going to reply to this comment but decided to make it a thread since I'm sure enough people don't realize this.
[quote]So in your mind you should just keep being able to play Destiny without sinking another cent into it?[/quote]
Ummm yeah. Just like every other game people own. Gamers can go back and play even if they didn't "sink another cent into it" by buying any expansions or DLC. Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, Borderlands series, Call of Duty series, Dragon Age series, Battlefield series, and the list could go on and on.
"But Destiny isn't like those games!" That's great to point out, Bungie/Activision DECIDED not to make Destiny that way and now that's creating problems with the playerbase.
This video by Lost Sols is fantastic. The intro is kinda long, but the talking starts at 2:60 though for those who are interested.

Edit:
If gamers want to purchase TTK there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's their choice, just like it's anybody's choice to not purchase it. No one is a sheep or an idiot for buying or not buying a game. The problem is people knocking on others for "being broke" or "too cheap", which is not necessarily what it comes down.
It's also frustrating when "if you didn't buy TTK, then get off the forms" is even an argument (or whatever you want to call it). People that don't buy DLC still deserve to play the game and express their concerns to the community.
If Bungie didn't want us to contiune adding feedback they should have locked the companion app in with TTK too! (<---that's a joke)
Edit 2:
I absolutely LOVE the argument "just buy TTK, it's totally worth it. Trust me."
For starters, if you just started playing Destiny on September 15 2015 then obviously it is worth it. Base game+3 DLC for $60? Yes, clearly a good deal.
Now on to "Year 1" players saying it's worth it. Again, OBVIOUSLY it's worth it because they omitted tons of content/features for anyone who did not purchase TTK. Your argument about TTK being "worth it" only helps prove that not purchasing TTK is a problem.
"Just buy TTK"
The point here is gamers shouldn't have to buy it. It's the principle of the matter, which is more important to some than others.

Edited by OutlawOfTorn656: 9/21/2015 4:05:06 AMIt's just a step to far to deny content that's been paid for or that was available previously. I've been playing well before games even had dlc's when games were sold with full content shock horror, I begrudged having to pay for extra content when that happened but it wasn't forced and my original content wasn't impeded or buggered up if I chose not to. It's a matter of principle and while you have people that wont or can't hold out on them when they cross the line it will head in a direction where it is all about milking and we will only have substandard games. They get away with this because they know they are dealing with children as the majority of consumers. I think if you've just begun Destiny and bought the new game it's great, but if a stand isn't made over this now and they get away with it you will be the next to be stitched up and be prepared to be stitched up with other games because this sets a precedence for a new milking technique
