I have the Expansion Pass. I bought it before The Dark Below. I've even had the game since release, and participated in the beta. (There's really no need for me to mention this, but you seem like the kind of person that would idolize themselves as a "Day 1ner" by making this post.) I raid, but I don't have friends to play with it all. I just breeze through it with randoms. I don't care for raids too much though. They're fun and cool, but aren't anything that is necessary. Then again, I prioritize making my characters look as cool as I want them to look. Not on making them the highest level. So I don't care for, or particularly need, raid armor. They're just extra bonus for when I decide to get raid weapons. Raid weapons themselves though, aren't really necessary either. They tend to do the same max damage as any other gun, and even share the exact same stats with one or two. Just with an element and a perk desinged for the raid. You'll be fine if you never decide to get them. Besides, people would either complain about the new raid being buggy, having a bigger version of an old enemy, and not getting item drops they want because of RNG. Or they would just find a way to cheese it, and that would make all the developers that put a lot of hard work and time into the raid feel like their job and efforts were completely worthless. I also play PvP, and I wouldn't be mad if they didn't add any new maps, because if I wanted new maps, I'd play another game. If they released new maps, they'd be new and exciting for maybe a week tops, but then they would become stale, boring, and people would complain about those as well. All in all, in my own personal opinion, as someone who plays both PvE and PvP parts of the game fairly regularly, I'm excited for the House of Wolves.
