About the purchase options for The Taken King

Current guardians who already own both current expansions are getting the shaft with this new content available this fall. I know this has been said hundreds of times already, but I think to get the point across we need to be repetitive to make our voices heard. Current Guardians with both Current expansions don't have an option to purchase all exclusive in game content with the current taken king options. The only choice to get the exclusive emotes, shader and class items along with the collectible physical items is for players to shell out another $40.00 so that we can receive all the content we've already paid for and used over the past year. We want an option to buy JUST The Taken King and the collector's edition additional items and digital content. By estimation based on the pricing structure of all the options presented so far, that should be priced around $60.00. I think that's fair considering the difference between the legendary and collector's editions. My suggestion is this: Fellow Guardians who want a $60.00 Legacy version of TTK containing ONLY the NEW offerings along with the expansion as well as the physical collectibles, and digital exclusives should post on the forums to make our voice heard. Tag your posts with #Legacy. We know Bungie listens if we speak loudly enough and we know they value their players. Sometimes things get overlooked, and maybe all they need is a gentle nudge. Or maybe it will take a nudge from a Titan Shoulder Charge. The louder we are, the better shot we have. Who's with me? [b]TL:DR If you want an option to get the extra content without having to re-buy the content you have, our best shot is to let Bungie know in the forums.[/b] Edit: Trending! Keep our voices loud Guardians! Edit2: Tagged as Feedback. Thanks @a common engram Edit3: It looks like Bungie has taken notice (no pun intended). We should get some info on our appreciation awarded as year one guardians. If it doesn't include the emotes, class items and shaders, I will be pretty bummed. As much as I'd love to get the physical collectors edition items, I'm not holding my breath at this point.

It looks like the collective voice of the veteran playerbase has made an impact. So far it looks like not quite the same thing we were looking for in a purchase option, but digitally, it provides the content extras that are exclusive to the collector's edition.

This content is priced at $20.00, and contains 3 shaders, 3 emotes and 3 class items. Clocking in at a value of $2.22/item. Some have compared the pricing to Elder Scrolls Horse armor disparity, others are happy with just having a more suitable option. Considering the fact that the legendary edition is $60.00, and the physical collector's edition is $80.00, and the laughably inequitably priced digital collector's edition is also priced at $80.00. The comparison and some basic algebra presents a few different for the collector's edition exclusive content: 1. Collector's edition ($80) - Legendary edition ($60) = Digital exclusives($10) + Physical collectibles ($10) or 2. Collector's edition ($80) - Legendary edition ($60) - Digital exclusives ($20) = Physical collectibles ($0.00) supported by 3. Collector's edition ($80) - Digital collector's edition ($80) = Physical collectibles ($0.00) So my question is this? Where are my free physical collectible items? C'mon Bungie, I'll even send pre-paid shipping.
