I have seen about 90% hate on these forums about The Taken King. Personally I find the DLC to be very fun, though there are some things could have definitely been done differently.
However....
.....It seems that everyone went into this expecting it to be bad. I agree that there was good reason, but it has distorted most of the player's perceptions of the DLC. Don't get me wrong I made my statement of, "If this DLC isn't good I will not buy and further DLC for Destiny 1. However I'll try Destiny 2." However, I didn't allow past frustrations ruin my experience of TTK.
Here are some pros and cons to this DLC:
[b][u]Pros[/u][/b]
Good new strikes
Understandable story, if still a little vague
Great job on revamping strikes
New gear and perks are usable, and unique
Good replay value
[b][u]Cons[/u][/b]
Limited ways to get legendary marks
Removed content for players who didn't buy it
Non-US pricing scam
Old weapons become useless (minor)
False advertisement on SUROS Pack (advertised as legendary weapons)
Yes the scam they pulled with locking out already paid for content is a load of crap, but the DLC itself is worth the $40.
