Now you have brought up a great point; the petition should be for Bungie to clear the air or what was interpreted to be content available at release or if it was content that they have been working on already with the intention of "hey, this idea would be GREAT for the first few DLCs, and by working on it now, before release day, we are ensuring that the major content updates will be rolled out on time, not promised and held back month after month"
If Bungie did the latter, and was unable to deliver DLC content updates and releases on time that would likely hurt their reputation far worse than a release that was a little shy of perfect - I expect them to stick by destiny for the long term, not bail shortly after release like so many developers seem to do now a days.
The underlying point of my argument is this; I read the thread last night and I see this as a cry for a boycott against the game, which I would expect to cause more harm than good to the product that we all want to see improve over time.
There's more than one side to every argument, and I feel that a demand for free content is not the right way to go about trying to influence this game into a better product, as a consumer. Continuing to provide feedback, playing the game and sending your money to the developers through optional DLC purchases is, in my opinion, the best way to support the development of any game long term, again as a consumer/gamer.

I agree with you. However I would really prefer for Bungie to get a PR team together and address what seems to be avoided so far. Before I spend my money on any future DLC.

Yes word directly from Bungie would suit this community better than theories thrown about by those of us who are not within the loop working at their studio. I agree entirely on the notion for a PR team to address the community's concerns. I'll point out I have yet to purchase the DLCs, but as I've stated I plan to buy them so long as I'm still playing the game when they are released. The little patches and live community events such as the Iron Banner or Queen Jennah's event should keep the majority entertained between DLC updates. They have worked so far, I'm curious to see what other events Bungie will throw at us.
