I respect your sentiment, though I cannot say I entirely agree, but let's not make this about the new players. These so called "Bundle Babies" don't decide how much they pay. They just want to get in on an ever growing franchise and have fun. The one in charge of marketing is Activision. You got a problem with the cost, direct it at them, not players or Bungie. The amount of aggression seen in this thread towards new players is rather messed up.
