To the people complaining about the DLC, updates, and bungie in general, let's take a moment to exercise some common sense.
[b]DLC?[/b]
YES, a good portion of the future DLC is already in the game and is technically accessable by glitching out of the maps. However, if you were to actually do this, you would find that the areas are far from perfectly complete. They are very buggy and contain a whole lot of problems. Sure, Bungie included these places before launch, but have you ever considered that they did it to make it easier down the road for themselves, rather than just to rob you of money?
Furthermore, charging for DLC is not a new concept. Nearly every successful game does this. Call of Duty has been doing it for years and NO ONE complains! The only difference is that CoD doesn't put the maps in the game before, because its not a free roam world! So where would they put them?? But that doesn't stop them from charging you every penny they can get for each new map pack.
[b]CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS[/b]
Upset that you are on Xbox and have to wait a year for stuff that Play Station already has? Well get used to it because there is a contract in place (just like how Xbox had rights to Halo) that says Playstation has the rights! At least it's just a year and not FORVER like halo was.
[b]10 YEAR PLAN[/b]
If Destiny truly has a 10 year plan for expansions, do you actually believe that they can keep paying their employees for 10 years off of the 60$ we spent to buy the game? No! They would run out of money in no time. Just like any on running massive multiplayer online game, they need to charge a little bit of money in order to keep themselves functioning!
To everyone that feels the need to point out that the 10 year plan in fact involves several new titles and additions to the legacy, bear in mind that regardless of how the 10 year plan is carried out, it requires money. This game is Bungie's baby. They want to make it the best game they have ever made. Give them time, be patient, and enjoy the future releases.
[b]UPDATES[/b]
People are constantly asking for updates for the game. I am sure bungie is listening to you, but what do you want them to do? Reply to 10,000 comments a day saying, "we read your comment and the idea is in consideration"? Do you have any idea how long it takes for developers to consider an idea, bring it before the board, plan the idea, beta test the idea, execute the idea, and finish the -blam!-ing idea? It takes a long -blam!-ing time! They plan on working on this game for 10 years. So expect many, many, many updates during that time. But they can only be done so fast. Developers aren't god. They can't build the world in seven days. So get used to it, or quit the game.
If you are patient enough to stick around, expect some pretty cool content coming in the near/far future.
[b]TIME[/b]
Let's consider one final thing. The majority of the players that have run out of things to do in Destiny have played 150+ hours. This game has been out for less than two months. The reason it is out of content is because we have literally OVERPLAYED it. Speaking from personal experience, I have played nearly 300 hours because this game is amazing. I highly doubt the developers of the game were ready for that.
If you are worried about content running out, maybe slow down a little bit. Even at my 300 hours, I am still having fun. But that's just me.
However, there are very few games that are capable from ripping me away from the real world.

Stop being such entitled little bitches and either just quit the game or accept that the world isn't free and takes time to make perfect.

[b]TL;DR[/b] (too long; didn't read)
- It is not free to continue producing content for a game
- A 10 year plan requires a 10 year budget
- The DLC "already in the game" is not finished. If you glitch out to it, you will see it needs considerable work before being ready for play.
- Bungie is contractually bound to release certain content on PSN only (for a year), it's not an option. Thats how contracts work.
- Updates take a considerable amount of time, and if Bungie wants this game to last 10 years, they need 10 years of updates. Be patient.
- If you are out of content already it may be time to go outside, or maybe call one of those friends you forgot you had.
[quote]Well when you think about it, Microsoft has more money than they will probably ever need. But thats no reason for them to start handing out copies of Office for free. The world runs on money, and whether we like it or not, we are part of the world. If the DLC was free, I would love it. But I very seldom get handed free things, so I am not too worried about buying it.
[b]I can spend 20$ for one night downtown that I won't even remember. I would happily spend 20$ for another 100 hours of gameplay that I will love every minute of.[/b][/quote]

If you're attempting to be witty or smarmy you've failed horribly. And if you think anyone knows or cares what your rustled desticles are, you're sadly mistaken. But go ahead and keep making an ass of yourself by posting inane comments that nobody understands. Genius.

[Butthurt intensifies]

I guess your limited vocabulary only allows for 2 to 3 word comments. Is this Bobo the chimp?
-
Never understood the point, like they said way over your head.
-
Congratulations on missing the entire point of the post. Right over your head. ^
-
Was there even one? All i read was you complaining about people complaining.
-
Yep, definitely right over his head!

Rustled desticles assemble!

Personally I fell the same way you do bungie and I have played this game everyday for hours on end since it came out and I am still having a blast. I Wan t every piece of exotic gear, have all the classes at 30 and be the richest MOFO out there killing every last enemy till the last drop of blood. This is my passion about destiny. And if you don't agree with me then stop bitching and go play something else. This game is not just a run and gun or just a fps like CoD. It is an MMO like WOW and you need to put your time in to get the most out of the game. Personally I am on the destiny train for many years in the future. To me bungie is doing great and to keep on going. I cannot wait for the DLCs to be released. #bepatient #destinyisawesone

It's not an MMO at all.
-
Then what is it if it isn't an FPS MMO
-
Shared world shooter with minor rpg elements that will(should be) intensified over time(ten years)<------------- At least that was the advertisement I reviewed and I'm not disappointed nor do I feel cheated.

Same here

It's just an FPS with multiplayer if you believe it's anything else your blind. The loot system is a joke class progression dosnt exist in any meaningful way.
-
Bungie is not calling it an MMO. But it most definitely built just like any MMO ive ever played.
-
Well you didn't play many good ones then.
-
Doesnt matter what MMOs either of us have played the design is still the same..grind to level cap..grind dungeons or 'strikes' to get geared enough to raid..raid for even better gear..farming..dailies..weeklys..xpac hits and it all starts over. If you dont know that then im not the one who hasnt played many mmos
-
I love this! I want to tell it from the rooftops to all of those cry spammers. Bungie made the game so you can figure out what became of us.... You're not supposed to know everything from the beginning.
-
Bump^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
Do you believe destiny will run 10years without bungie fixing the flaws in a timely fashion?
-
Well maybe everyone should play in 10 years then when destiny is good because it's poor now.
-
Well said! Add me esco_0780 I'm always down to play!
-
Same here Stephen1806 Love Raiding the right way. plus birthday DLC is awesome

Good for you
