Why Bungie had to reward year one Guardians

Shane Wall - "If you’re still playing Destiny, it’s a safe bet to say you’re a super fan who’s devoted a ridiculous number of hours to the game. So given the only people still playing — and haven’t succumbed to the general Destiny hatred — obviously have the game already, how do you feel about “The Taken King” Collector’s Edition?"

Thank you Bungie.

A few shaders and emblems have stayed the author's rage regarding this?

I'll be missing out on this expansion methinks.

[Saijahn]

maybe an exotic or 2 would've been nice.

THK should be $20 max. Then players would have spent around the same amount of money as new players for the same content. Although I do recall Bungie stating that the next dlc would be free for all players, thus I am somewhat jaded.
At the current pace it will cost $120+/- a year to keep playing this game, thus I'm starting to count the days till The Division launches.

Maybe we should get other rewards for being loyal.

There's a tonne of us with hundreds of hours that don't have a certain exotic rocket launcher, there is probably a tonne that have never seen all the exotic guns either. If we had a request to receive reward menu, I think it would make people less bitter. It'd do me, however for some, it wont be good enough.

With Fallout 4 just around the corner, things like this are not keeping me interested, so they really should think more about the long term players. For example, Xur isn't selling anything good this week either, so off to the Handsome collection for me.

I'm just interested in the class armor that grants extra exp.

Can't believe anyone still plays this grindfest

[Jmanzare]

Wouldn't be a destiny thread without this stupid comment... Go away

[DivoJones]

Yes, since you don't like it or got tired of it must mean literally everyone else stopped playing as soon as you did. Idiot.

[Mr-Dude]

Popped your bubble for personal attack. Wasn't called for, and immature.

Fun game... shouldn't cost more than 10 bucks for each dlc and maybe 20 for dlc. Glad I didn't take bait after buying copy for 40$ . Can't understand the enjoyment of grinding fps for no content improvement... hell I even play wow but this seems silly

[Wolfgang187]

It's fun for about a month (and that's a stretch) only if you're playing with people you know. This game still doesn't have matchmaking for raids. I say again: This game still doesn't have matchmaking for raids.... lol

[svoulis]

I honestly thing having matchmaking for raids (especially without mics) is going to be so insane. It would take forever.

Believe it or not you do need some form of communication for certain parts of both raids and most people playing solo are too "Shy" to just go out talking to randoms they don't know.

[DivoJones]

Not only that, but the Prison of Elders has matchmaking for the lowest level of it, but not the next 3. So they literally have the capability built in for all 4, and they go "nah, only for the level 28 version".

[bananaboats]

I been playing since Beta, and I don't feel entitled to anything from bungie. I play the game because I enjoy it, yes im a little upset for the prices of the new dlc but it wont prevent me from picking it up. Bungie is only hurting themselves by allowing this to happen, in the mean time ill continue to play this game.

I see new players everyday. I base this upon Grimoire score, and not a characters level. I am closing in on 1600 hundred hours on the Xbox One version alone, and above 500 on the 360. I love it! Do I like 40$ expansions? No,unless its worth it, of course. The good times I have had with my sons, and friends, has been priceless, to me. Destiny is a strange bird, you love it, or hate it, with very few in-between members (IMO). I love the PVE, and how it has adapted and gotten smarter, since day one. I love the Grimoire cards, and the information that can be gleened from them..I have afew gripes, but none worth mentioning. If a person doesn't like it, cool, just don't demonize those of us that do enjoy it.
