Okay...so if you've read Bungie's "update" about their response to their crippling reviews and thousands of fan losses, here's what I'm understanding. So...for $20 more, on top of the still current $40! We veterans can get...wait for it, like 6-9 class exotic class items. So for the price of the ENTIRE House of Wolves, you can get some cosmetic crap...at least that's how I understand it. So it seems that everything that we said was ignored, insulted, and degraded from its intended value. The expansion's director even had the audacity to blame his horribly worded comments as "sarcastic...and blunt". This to me is a classic Bungie/Activision cop out.
So if you already have everything up to this point. Now, you still have to pay $40. You can get some class crap and the CE items for $20, bringing the grand total of the "collectors like" package to $60. So our entire fight and continued struggle over the disrespect and disloyalty that Bungie has shown us, is a $20 discount? That's it? Correct me if I understood it wrong, but I read through it a couple times...and I was appalled. Could I really pay for it if I wanted? Yes of course. Do I want to reward fake promises and half-hearted gestures though? No.
We won't stop Bungie :). Show some respect to the people who built your damn player base and treat us better. And get Activision's slimy hand out of your ass. Don't apologize with words, Luke, show us with actions. Then I'll believe you. Until next time my dear friends. I share your feelings and sadness. *hugs all of you*
So, stop being such a thorn in our side Bungie, and then we'll start giving you more patience and time.

EDIT 3: It's a good thing I took those screen shots. Guess my post was removed from highest rating, like so many posts before mine? Yeah Bungie, we already know that you're a bunch of morons, you don't need to keep proving it.

So according to deej our "something better" is a $20 price reduction on shaders and emblems, as well as getting a VIP pack that has been known since the BEGINNING. Where is the logic? That's basically the exact same stuff. You're just screwing us over a little bit less now. I'd rather go out and spend $60 on fallout 4 or on family and friends than for this bull. I've been a loyal fan since long before dark below. I may have only had the game myself since December, but I spent countless hours on my friends play stations playing destiny. I feel Us veterans (I'm using veterans as those of us who've been here from September-December) should get The Taken King for a lower price and the CE stuff for around $5 cuz that's how much they're worth. Destiny is just a shell and you are being a greedy corrupt slimy company. In the beginning you were good but then you screw us over? The loyal fans of destiny? Bump this and get Bungie and Activision to treat us veterans right! Who's with me?[spoiler]bungie is screwing us all over again. [/i]spoiler]
