[b]If you didn't buy the DLC you won't have access to end game content but you still have access to all of the vanilla content (story missions, strikes, crucible etx[/b]

You agreed to this before you even got past the title screen.
Year one players remaining at year one have most of their content left- being able to pick individual levels and such is gone, but the activities themselves are not.
[b]Now...
Do we all understand the difference, in this game, between [i]content[/i] and [i]endgame activities[/i]? [/b]
[i]Content[/i] would be a strike, story mission, etc. Year one players still have access to all of their content.
[i]Endgame activities[/i] would be things like the Nightfall, weekly, high-level strike lists and high level story modes.
The problem here is that if a player didn't buy the Taken King expansion, they are locked out of endgame activities for that expansion. Bungie simply carbon-copied World of Warcraft for this.
I think the main problem people have right now is that it came with a [u]major[/u] restructuring of the entire game, and we all need to adapt to it.
