The Taken King's pricing/bonus content seem pretty unfair towards veteran Destiny players.

I [i]love[/i] Destiny. I've been playing since Day One and I own both expansions. It's the game that I put the most time into this year, and I can easily consider myself a hardcore Destiny player, even thought I might not be as good at the game as some of my fellow players. I was ecstatic when info on The Taken King leaked early, and was downright giddy during the reveal at Sony's press conference. I couldn't wait to find out more, so I checked your website to absorb what I could. That's where I read about all the different versions of the Taken King, and I just can't help but feel hurt while reading through it. We have to pay $40 for the expansion? Oookay. Well, I'm hoping that I can trust you guys to make it worth the money. But then I read that for $80, a new player gets [i]everything[/i], including exclusive [i]exotic[/i] class items, shaders, and emotes. I'm sorry, but how is that fair? I've already dropped $95 into this game, and if I want to get the expansion, I have to pay another $40 and I'm still not getting all the content? The way this is set up, the people who have to pay the most for the new expansion are the people who have [i]already[/i] paid the most for the game. Why am I paying an extra $55 for this game if I'm not even going to get all the content? You make it seem like I'll be better off skipping Destiny 2 for a year because not only would I be saving a huge amount of cash, but I'd also be getting extra stuff to "reward" my patience. I mean, you've never even released extra dances before, let alone exotic class items. Why don't we, your most dedicated players, get them with our purchase that inherently costs more? Yes, I did read about the VIP rewards, and yes, they did make me smile. I'm definitely excited to see what kind of Sparrow you're giving us! Unfortunately, I can't help but feel a bit ripped off anyway. Not only does a newer player pay less than I have [i]already paid[/i], but I still have to pay an extra $40 and still miss out on content. That just doesn't seem right. Right now I'm kind of banking on the "and more at launch" part of the VIP Rewards. During a stream today Deej said you guys actually read these, and judging by House of Wolves, I definitely believe him. Thank you for your time. I hope you understand that my intention isn't to complain. I just feel wronged by all this. But hey, The Taken King looks great so far. I'm loving all the new additions and I can't wait to see what else you have in store.

  • Well stated and I completely agree with you! Bungie does not care about loyal or dedicated fans. Also they lie continuously, stating promises they never intend to keep. The last three exotic helmet engrams I received were all Light Beyond Nemesis... WTF, bungie?!?!?! You state RNG is improved, but yet the evidence remains that you are full of it!  Why do you make claims and promises that you cannot keep?? Are you politicians?? Are you run or directed by the Federal Government??? Do you like screwing over your dedicated fans, which have supported you and helped your franchise grow???  It seems as though, at least one of those answers is a big YES! Especially, since you seem to be focused on generating more profits, instead of keeping true Destiny players happy, by keeping your promises and fixing your broken ass programming and game, which is supposed to be a ten year legacy called Destiny. Also, where the HELL is the progression? New Destiny players are on par with veteran destiny players, besides VIP rewards, which I never flipping received... WOW, and all year one activities are completely pointless now! Good job, making a majority of the game absolutely worthless, just like all the weapons and gear we all worked are asses off in preparation for The Taken King, aka the TAKEN RIPOFF. Thanks alot for the screw job, Bungie, since all day one players paid over 100 dollars for only a 60 dollar worth game now.
