I think it's funny you start with "...doesn't mean that it has to be a devious money making scheme" and "...Bungie and craptivision both need to make copious amounts of strippers and cocaine money." I mean, when you try to express those two ideas, you really end up being counter-productive in trying to distinguish them. Also, it's not about them dividing up content to entice players. At this point, it's just a fake carrot on a stick we've been grinding our Cryptarch Packages for. They forgot to turn on the drop chances, and everyone just blew through the bulk of the content cycle. NOBODY is going to be getting any of those yet, and they were all presumably for the Taken King. Even if they weren't, then that just means Bungo was dangling a wax carrot for the entire -blam!-ing content cycle as far as Cryptarch Packages and Crucible Packages went. You can pretend it doesn't matter, but for a game that claims customization features, RNG ends up preventing most from their favorite choices. I've played Destiny Y1 and Y2. I've been playing less Y2, but there's also substantially less content. But my Golden Age is apparently over. Everything I see now is just hills of class nerfs and nerfed weapons. I haven't been able to enjoy PvP since 2.1 originally launched back in December-ish. You can pretend it's fine for you, but it's not fine for everyone. At this rate Bungo [i]will[/i] find the straw that broke the camel's back. It won't end soon, but I guarantee you a 10 year cycle is going to mean tons of fake carrots and constant feeling of betrayal from Bungie. I'm just going to get ahead of it and start deleting everything the moment they say it wasn't intended for TTK, but was placed tantalizingly in front of players to make them think they dropped. It was likely a ruse the whole time.
