Dear Bungie (and Activision)
I, as a day one player, won't be purchasing the new expansion for $40 when I end up spending $20 more than new players (even more because I bought the Ghost Edition but we'll ignore that and just assume I bought the vanilla game) and they get cool exclusive content like exotic class items (with permanent XP bonuses) that loyal players don't. That's where I draw the line. I want those exotic class items but I'm not going to be suckered into spending $80 to get awesome exclusive items that noobs get while us loyal players are left in the cold. Not cool, Bungie. I think you're going to lose a lot of devoted fans over this bullshit. If you include all the new exclusive digital content with the $40 expansion for players who already own the previous games and expansions, there's a chance I might purchase it. If not, I'm going elsewhere and it's been a fun ride. Really disappointed in the dishonest marketing on display here. Why would you punish your most loyal fans? It's a sad day. /rant

Letter to day one player, from an alpha test player. It's sad to see someone crying out loud just because the exotic items the new players will get if they pre-order the game. I know you will say something like it's about the price and who much you spent in the game but you are not fooling anyone, you're mad because of the exotic items and that's it. I draw the line here because it's pathetic to see this kind of post from "veteran" players just because of those in game items. I hope you'll actually reconsider your actions and stop crying about digital content that in the long run you'll probably use for a week or two and then forget about it. Sincerely, an Alpha test player.
