So i have decided to not buy the annual pass, because even after Forsaken I expect the following to see:
1. More D1-Weapons solely for the purpose to sell Ornaments (I bet 5$ the Ornaments of Icebreaker will be behind a paywall and not be earnable ingame)
2.Levelgating: Like before Bungie is likely to make endgame (nf, last wish, shattered throne) unaccessible for Players that wont purchase the Annual Pass
3.Timegating: Like the really dumb Thunderlord-Quest Black Armory will probably have more of these carrot style "events"
4.Drip Feeding: Even if Black Armory could have a lot of new weapons/armor I expect, that they will go back to their model: week 1- 1 weapon, week 2- 2 weapons (s.Faction Rally).
5.Reskinning: Since the last patch it has been discovered that Black Armory weapons are reskinned Y1 wepoans (with an additional mod slot) and a new shader. If it turns out that some of the recent nerfs (Boxbreathing, Trenchbarrel) were done to reintroduce these weapons in BA, were you have to grind again for them, then this is hilarious.
Now explain to me, why I´m dumb for not getting excited for Black Armory....
Or you could simply point out, why you buy it (It`s cheap is not argument btw) or if there are also dealbreakers for you.
Better safe than sorry ;-)

Update 2: After inspecting the reactions on BA, I was really astonished that my prediction 2 (Levelgating) seems to apply to people that purchased the content. (????)

3 RepliesNo sandbox update, matchmaking, no exotics from forsaken. I'm not about to fork over more money for the same. I will just wait for division or anthem.

3 RepliesLevelgating is somewhat inaccurate, non-pass people can still level as they would before the bump, there's just more levels to have. All Forsaken owners can still hit the new caps as they come.

Point 3 and 4 of my prognosis seem to be accurate. The new forges and weapons will be drip fed and time gated. Now wating for the confirmation that the new exotic ornaments will only be buyable with silver...
