An article from Eurogamer interviewing The Taken King creative director Luke Smith.
A quick excerpt:
Interviewer: "I'm not going to mention them again. I can't get them." (He's talking about the new emotes)
Luke Smith: "But you can if you buy the Collector's Edition."
Interviewer: "I'm not going to buy the game and the two DLCs all over again."

Discuss.
UPDATE:
I wanted to add that after reading the article, it annoyed me how Luke Smith was avoiding answering certain questions. His attitude came off as not really caring about much except trying to make a sale.
I think the interviewer did a fantastic job not holding back questions. And when the response to questions is what we've seen today, it's interesting. Do I really want to give this man $40? At this point, I don't want to spend another dime on Destiny.
In closing, I will continue to play Destiny. I've been playing since the beta. I enjoy playing with the people I've met here. I love the character and weapon customization. There are many aspects of the game I enjoy, and yes, some of it can get repetitious. I have the game and both expansions, but I have no plans to buy The Taken King or anything else unless something changes price-wise, as well as attitude-wise from Bungie.
However, I think that if things continue the way they are, I might eventually leave like many others. I've tried to be supportive of Bungie and Destiny, even after so many ups and downs (Locked content discussions and so forth), and this is my first real experience with Bungie. It would be a shame after all of the hours and money invested, but if this is the way they plan to treat us, then there's really no point.
For anyone interested, someone has started a petition on Change.org regarding the pricing issue and fairness for all players. Feel free to sign it and share it with others.
