I agree completely . Bungie launched this game pretending they were launching with a standard console pricing model . but instead they used DLC as a cudgel, to force players to make more payments to continue to play. The trick they used was to intertwine the new dlc into old playlists and then lockout everyone who does not pay them more money. To make it even more effective they created a whole new Strike playlist that is always 100% locked (ROC) and then degraded the rewards for the vanguard list in order to make it worthless.... For a brand new game this is bollox and is a cheap ass way to squeeze out more dollars per copy
