So, is Destiny trying to discourage year 1 gamers?
Here's the thing, Destiny has taken it upon themselves to systematicaly screw all the year one loyal players to this sometimes wonderful, sometimes insufferable game.
EXAMPLE A: They have valued The Taken King at $39.99 for the expansion alone, which is admittidly a bit steep, but if the content is as vast and exciting as the hype suggests, then it may be well worth the money. The part that gets me about this is for people just now getting everything, they can preorder the collector's edition which has Destiny, EXP1, EXP2, AND The Taken King all for $80. I don't know about the rest of you, but I , being a year 1 loyal Destiny gamer, have already spent damn near $100 on this game! Doesn't that show that show, if anything, I deserve this next expansion for free. I mean come on Bungie, where is your sense of loyalty to the gamers who helped make this game such the phenomenon that it has become today.
EXAMPLE B: Although I love all the new guns and gear that's coming with the new expansion, why the hell are you gonna turn the weapons we worked so hard for obselete. Now, don't get me wrong, I want the new weapons to be awesome, but I also think that this is going down the troubling road we've had in destiny before. In the end, it's just going to be a whole bunch of people using the same weapons and the same armor as everybody else because it's the best and if you don't have it, you won't be able to keep up. Let us keep our weapons and armors from all the expansions up to date so we can be individual from the rest of the crowd.
In the end, I really enjoy bungie as a game developing company, and am thrilled to their commitment to constantly tweak and balance the game so every playstyle is valid and can hold up in PVP and PVE. I just feel as though the people that have been playing this game from day 1 deserve a bit more courtesy and thanks for already pouring so much time, money, and effort into this game. Bungie has already proven that this is based off of a sort of gamers community and it feels like us O.G.'s (original gamers) are just getting taken for chumps on this Taken King expansion. Please do something, before our loaylty and trust breaks, bungie.

Example A: In UK the Taken King digital download £39.99, the Legendary Edition £36.85. They don't want to discourage us, they just want us to throw money at them.

Edited by Gooch_McGrundle: 8/9/2015 5:26:03 PMExample a: every game ever has gotten cheaper as time goes on. They pay less for everything, but also missed out on when vanilla was relevant and different. They'll probably be level 30 after a day. That doesn't sound as fun to me. Example b: I saw in, I believe a game informer article, that there will be some way to sacrifice an item of a higher tier to ascend a weaker item? It was vague, but it seems like year 1 gear isn't entirely phased out. Also, it was irrelevant before HoW and estheric light brought it back, who's to say something similar can't happen again
