I know you're no longer replying to this thread, and given some of the rather idiotic responses I don't blame you, but I think your last point here is at the nub of the issue. Being a PS4 gamer I don't share the concerns over timed exclusive content but I wonder if your issues are more to do with the fact that you feel that by the time XBox gamers will be able to access these exclusives you'll have grown tired of the game. I know I'd be considering that.
I'm a WoW veteran and to be frank I haven't played for years, mainly due to the subscription fee if truth be told. I have tried going back a couple of times however and it has been at these times I've realised other things about the game. Being such a huge world meant that even playing through numerous classes and races didn't get boring for a long time, there was just so much to do and a variety of different zones tailoured to each level band. However, boring it did get in the end, especially when those other players I'd become friends with had drifted away, as let's face it, it's the camaraderie and shared experiences which enhance a game and contribute to its longevity.
I loved the early days of WoW where gaining levels wasn't a chore or a race, but instead gave a sense of real achievement. I have to wonder whether Destiny contains enough content and depth at this time for it to keep that sense of enjoyment and achievement going for long enough for XBox gamers to be bothered about the timed exclusive content when they finally gain access to it.
I think it's here where Bungie have been guilty. All of their marketing spiel and posts on here talk Destiny up to be more than a game, they talk of it's scope and size as being beyond anything that's gone before it. Maybe when judged alongside other FPS they might be right, but I think many people who got excited about the game did so because of its MMORPG elements, thus attracting players of games such as WoW. Anyone who's played WoW and the like will know that Destiny will have to go some to measure up to them in terms of size, so I guess that'll leave many disappointed.
I'm hopeful we'll still have an amazing game to play come release but given the amount of hype the game's had and the amount that's been spent on it, I for one won't be surprised if this effects reviewers' ratings a little and that there's more of a backlash than expected.
