Being skeptical is pretty important and it is healthy for the game to give negative feedback.
But I'd say this bungie.net community is far too depressed to give the expansion a chance to potentially be good.
Sure, there are reasons to be negative due to the history of this game and due to the (kind of long) period of time where it wasn't very good, the game had serious problems (which still exist) and where the devs kind of made some real mistakes, they also admit it.
And of course, some people still allow themselves to be hyped or wait until it comes out to rate it but looking how extremely downvoted every positive posts gets you really see that the majority is just very negative, in almost an unhealthy way.
I totally understand the frustration about sunsetting but some people are just letting it look that it is way worse than it potentially is. At the end of the day they are the game designers and they follow a plan to give us motivation to have a (maybe artificial) grind and get rid of problems like powercreep.
To get back to the topic, I'm very hyped. The destination looks very good, the story seems to be pretty deep and the subclasses will bring some fresh air into the gameplay.
On the other hand I just hope that we'll get a decent pool of gear to acquire (specially after sunsetting), that the story quests will have some good length, the subclasses have many customizable options, that stasis won't destroy pvp and the seasonal concept to be a bit more enjoyable.

I feel like these people just don’t look at the facts. They are looking at all the reasons Beyond Light might be bad, and the history of destiny, but they don’t look at the signs of how it will be good and amazing.
