It's not bait and switch and "Endgame" content always changes. The "Endgame" is now TTK. Why you think your allowed to play endgame without purchasing the endgame is beyond me. It's exactly like other games.

You are full of it. End game is Raid.

No, it's actually any content that happens at the end. Which is the heroic weekly strike, the Nightfall and the raid. DLC levels aside *you obviously shouldn't play those without buying the dlc* those activities have always been end game and it's no surprise they are now

You just have to unlock the new strike. Not end game.

No you're wrong. When the level cap on heroic things increase so must the player level, to increase player level you must get the DLC. This isn't a new trend. If you want endgame you must purchase the content that actually allows you to play endgame. Or are you an idiot that's thinks your 171 max light can deal damage to Heroic enemies wit 260 light? They go damage immune if the spread is to large meaning you physically couldn't run it even if you had access. You'd bitch and moan that it was impossible even if they hadn't forced the TTK purchase.

We actually get drops greater than 171 on patrol.

that extra 10-20 points of light won't make you suddenly able to hit the level 40 enemies in endgame content. Grats of proving me wrong though, have a cookie.

I will be playing better games. This dlc will have a big price drop in a few months.
