Rename "Moments of Triumph" to "Proof of DLC"

So, Bungie day is now along and Bungie has unveiled their big "reward" to year 1 players: an exclusive emblem, locked behind challenges that require you to own both DLC packages to finish. Awesome. That's really awesome, Bungie. These "Moments of Triumph" aren't even hard; beating every raid on hard? People should be doing this anyway. Beating Skolas? Requires more time than skill, really. The "Moments of Triumph" exist to ensure that Bungie can force everyone to buy every DLC package before The Taken King comes out. Someone could literally buy the game today and get all these challenges finished by Friday - that's the definition of a "Year 1 VIP", right? Yeah, it's completely vanity. I'll live without it, and I'm sure as hell not buying The Dark Below just to get it, but it's funny how they continue to give a middle finger to everyone who won't throw money at them after the shitstorm from The Taken King pricing fiaso. Great Bungie day, really. I'm really glad that your loyalty extends as far as the money trail reaches. Stay classy. I'm a little annoyed that I'm still considering buying The Taken King after this, but whatever. Edit: You guys keep reinforcing the same falsities, so allow me to quickly clear some things up. I DO enjoy the game and I CAN afford The Dark Below. Nobody plays it, and I don't want it. I have purchased House of Wolves because it looked appealing, and I've ultimately enjoyed it. I don't buy things for the sake of it, I buy them because I feel they are worth the selling price. Let me make something [b]completely [/b]clear: I'm not mad that the emblem is locked behind a paywall. I'm disappointed and a little insulted that Bungie acts like you have to fulfill "challenges" to get it. What? Is it a challenge to play the game? Is it a challenge to beat every raid on hard and Skolas? I would be perfectly happy if they just said "people who bought both DLCs get an exclusive emblem", because that's fair enough. I'm cool with that. I didn't pay up, fair's fair. They didn't do that. They called it a "Year One" Moment of Triumph Reward. I've been here since day one, and yet I'm apparently not entitled to something marketed as a Year one bonus. That's what really bothers me. Nothing more, nothing less. My Legend > Profile > Triumphs. People keep asking, so I'll just put it here.

  • You guys are missing something. When you buy TTK you get HoW and TDB for free. So if you intend to buy all 3 but want to get them "on special" and yet play every day of year one, you won't get the year one emblem. OP is right, no money outside of primary purchase, no emblem. Outside of the DLC, it's a week of play if played right to get all of these. Tldr I agree, should have called them DLC loyalty packs not one year rewards.
