I'm pretty sure that Bungie racked up the hours-required-to-progress through repetitive, crappy strike missions and "patrols" (aka Dinklebot BS or collect the triangles BS). Not sure if you can't comprehend that impacting the "cost / hours" discussion or just want to be a DLC white knight. But either way, nobody's like, AW YEAH THAT GUY HAS A POINT I SHULD BE BETTER AT INTERNET STUF. We just think, what a sucker. And then we forget about your lecture.
