It is getting out of control, I personally watched this video the day it came out and if I can remember correctly it was almost 300 dollars to 'catch up' with all the other players and it never fails to work on every new player that starts to like the game. But on the other hand bungie is a large company and these decisions are a difficult and important one to make that could have an affect on the future of said company, not matter what company it is, and although the player base might not like it they have to deal with it as best they can or the company won't grow and we all know that the people who complain about this game and say it's failing are the people who are going to come back and continue to spend money, but that don't change the fact that the monitazation is crazy right now. But all that set aside bungie is a great company and I'm exited to see how the company will improve and grow leading into witch queen, lightfall, and the final shape.
