Letter to Bungie from a day one player.
Dear Bungie (and Activision)
I, as a day one player, won't be purchasing the new expansion for $40 when I end up spending $20 more than new players (even more because I bought the Ghost Edition but we'll ignore that and just assume I bought the vanilla game) and they get cool exclusive content like exotic class items (with permanent XP bonuses) that loyal players don't. That's where I draw the line. I want those exotic class items but I'm not going to be suckered into spending $80 to get awesome exclusive items that noobs get while us loyal players are left in the cold. Not cool, Bungie. I think you're going to lose a lot of devoted fans over this bullshit. If you include all the new exclusive digital content with the $40 expansion for players who already own the previous games and expansions, there's a chance I might purchase it. If not, I'm going elsewhere and it's been a fun ride. Really disappointed in the dishonest marketing on display here. Why would you punish your most loyal fans? It's a sad day. /rant

I absolutely agree. My clan is 64 deep and right now we only have 2 out of 64 that have preordered. Everyone pretty much agrees its a slap in the face. The digital freebies crossed the line for the majority of us while some said price. The exotic xp bonus was the most hated. Yea we know all are above 20 but your talking a boost to all new weapons and armor and thats like a nightfall completion bonus without the work, that adds up over time. It just feels like they are constantly beating on their most loyal players. What kills me is the people who come in here defending it. I could go on and on, but whats the point. Too many options and bungie aparently doesnt put a value on loyalty.
