It doesn't matter if a person can or can't afford $20. You bought the base game. The base game came included with weeklys and nightfalls. You have had that for months. Now Bungie is taking that away. I don't care if it is once in a while or not. It's still taking an experience they're taking away that they originally sold you. I don't care if its for one week, base game owners are being given the short end of the stick. You can't get coins and you have one less opportunity to an exotic. No game should take away from the base experience. Games should be built to ENCOURAGE you to buy DLC ON THEIR OWN MERITS, NOT REQUIRE YOU TO KEEP BASE GAME CURRENT. Having to take something away is, once again, cheesing the players and taking shortcuts to development. Make the content worth owning...don't make it a requirement to enjoy the base experience they(I) already paid for.
I bought the DLC and I still think it's unfair. I would be ticked too if I couldn't play the game as it was sold to me. After learning about the stupid exotic upgrade thing, there's a higher value to strange coins. This week I plan on jumping on the weekly and build a safe supply so I can upgrade my weapons. I'm glad I can do that....but that can't happen this week for base game owners.
You provide great suggestions with your critical feedback OP and I CANNOT understand those defending this. I don't know why it is hard to have a non-DLC track. The answer is because they want to push you into it. If the expansion content is optional make it optional...don't sell off part of the original game with it. (and yes, even if it only happens once in a while it still is an experience taken away)
Saying "wait a week" or " suck up the dough" is ignoring the principle issue and feeding the issue. No one is complaining about not having access to the new content, but they are complaining about losing access to an experience they had with the base game. Why is this hard to understand?

I don't think this is the answer either as it would get old fast. Maybe just opening up the strike as free DLC along with the weapons and other new (free) content that was introduced with the update

"GIMMIE STUFF FOR FREE!!!!" Oh look, another entitled clown.
-
Entitled? Where did I say that they owe it to me/us to give it free? Oh right, I didn't. First off, I have the expansion. That doesn't mean I think the current approach taken with the launch of the DLC is fair. In particular, shifting content (in arguable) behind a pay wall. I was tossing out potential solutions (to which I specifically acknowledged that it may not be the right answer) and the suggestion of free content does not translate to entitlement. It is commonplace to have free dlc. Heck, even this update itself includes a component of free content. ....but I am the clown

All of you. So indignant. With or without the DLC. If you want people to argue/agree with you're in the right place. If you want change, maybe CNN would care? Because I doubt Bungie does. All I hear is complaining. But please, carry on.
