Price isn't the sole problem.
I was going to reply to this comment but decided to make it a thread since I'm sure enough people don't realize this.
[quote]So in your mind you should just keep being able to play Destiny without sinking another cent into it?[/quote]
Ummm yeah. Just like every other game people own. Gamers can go back and play even if they didn't "sink another cent into it" by buying any expansions or DLC. Elder Scrolls series, Fallout series, Borderlands series, Call of Duty series, Dragon Age series, Battlefield series, and the list could go on and on.
"But Destiny isn't like those games!" That's great to point out, Bungie/Activision DECIDED not to make Destiny that way and now that's creating problems with the playerbase.
This video by Lost Sols is fantastic. The intro is kinda long, but the talking starts at 2:60 though for those who are interested.

Edit:
If gamers want to purchase TTK there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's their choice, just like it's anybody's choice to not purchase it. No one is a sheep or an idiot for buying or not buying a game. The problem is people knocking on others for "being broke" or "too cheap", which is not necessarily what it comes down.
It's also frustrating when "if you didn't buy TTK, then get off the forms" is even an argument (or whatever you want to call it). People that don't buy DLC still deserve to play the game and express their concerns to the community.
If Bungie didn't want us to contiune adding feedback they should have locked the companion app in with TTK too! (<---that's a joke)
Edit 2:
I absolutely LOVE the argument "just buy TTK, it's totally worth it. Trust me."
For starters, if you just started playing Destiny on September 15 2015 then obviously it is worth it. Base game+3 DLC for $60? Yes, clearly a good deal.
Now on to "Year 1" players saying it's worth it. Again, OBVIOUSLY it's worth it because they omitted tons of content/features for anyone who did not purchase TTK. Your argument about TTK being "worth it" only helps prove that not purchasing TTK is a problem.
"Just buy TTK"
The point here is gamers shouldn't have to buy it. It's the principle of the matter, which is more important to some than others.

2 RepliesI agree with this so much! You make a very good point, no other game I return to has ever changed so much in the time that I have owned it! DLC should be a player's choice to purchase, not a necessity to continue playing, and in no other game I have ever played has previously open content been removed until you pay for it again via DLC. I’m fed up of hearing, ‘so you expect free updates’ or ‘you haven’t paid for the end game content so you can't expect to play anymore’. The point is I don’t want the new level cap/shaders/armour or the campaign/raids/re-skinned enemies Bungie are pretending are new. If I wanted that content I would have bought it, but that isn't the problem. What I want is the content I’ve been playing until TTK as it should never have been removed or locked away behind a paywall. Bungie/Activision are basically holding hostage content we've already paid for to force us to buy DLC.
