I am going to leave this here for all who don't get it.
I did not write it, and all credit goes to Coyote X Starrk.
Before we start let me say first off I am no "Desticle" I have not bought TTK and I have no intention to do so until I see review scores and impressions that make me feel its worth my $40 purchase. So I am missing out on the new content just like you guys are. I don't drink the Kool Aid. I think that $40 for a DLC is a joke even if it is an "Expansion". I personally believe I am one of the most outspoken critics on the forums regarding TTK and its various scandals.
Then why am I bothering to post this you ask?
Because I believe in fairness and the ranting and raving I am seeing in thread after thread is not fair towards Bungie. It is a HUGE overreaction and the bombastic claims of being robbed of content and being scammed is just downright idiotic.
You have not had any missions, strikes, raids, or weapons taken away from you that you have purchased. You can still play all the TDB missions/strikes, HoW missions/strikes and you can certainly still play the vanilla missions/strikes.
The same goes for the crucible. You still have every right to play the maps that you have already paid for in the classic playlists in the crucible.
The only thing you have been locked out of is new endgame content like Nightfalls, Weeklies, Raid etc etc. That is not content that you bought that is a FEATURE of the game. A feature that centers around the latest content. When you bought TDB you bought the strikes, missions, gear etc etc and the Nightfall then took that content and featured it every week.
Now that TTK is the latest content the Nightfall now features THAT content. So no you don't get to do the Nightfall because the Nightfall features new content. Content that you have not paid for.
So please stop acting as if Bungie came into your game and pulled all of the missions and gear from your bleeding fingers and pissed on your Ghost. This is how expansion based games have operated for YEARS now. The new expansion comes out with new gear, new missions, and a new level cap. That new content is then featured front and center in every way and the old content is pushed off to the side.
WoW, Diablo, SWTOR etc etc have followed this design for years. This is not new and this not shocking. They did it for TDB and they did it for HoW, but they did it on a smaller scale because they were smaller packages. TTK is essentially Destiny 1 part 2. So of course its impact on the day to day functionality of the game is gonna be MUCH more noticeable and much more profound.
[spoiler]You paid for content.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]You got that content.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]You still have that content. [/spoiler]
[spoiler]You can still play that content.[/spoiler]
Features such as the endgame activities however will always be geared toward the latest content and if you don't have that content then you obviouslly cannot participate in the features that use that new content.
The same goes for the levelcap as well. You paid for the level-cap to be increased in each of the new DLC's that came out because they were TIED to that content and you need that gear in order to REACH that new cap. They have now raised it again and have tied that cap to the new gear.
Gear you don't have access to because you have not paid for it yet.
So of COURSE the Vendors are going to be selling the latest and greatest gear. Do you honestly think that they should still be selling old level Vanilla gear like Shadow Price or The Devil You Know even though its been outclassed ages ago?
I understand that you are upset that your options are limited now because the content you bought is no longer featured, but don't sit their and claim that it is no longer there or that you no longer have access to it.
Because it is and you do.

Coyote Stark is a fuсking 11yr old tryhard retard
-
I'm 24 actually.
-
Then you have the understanding of economics of an 11yr old
-
Concession accepted. Better luck next time.
-
What? Lmao, is that the only way you can dismiss his arguments? Are you that ignorant?
-
Do you know he is 11yrs old? You must be one of the people crying about this.
-
This is absolutely incorrect and needs to stop being circulated because it is 100% wrong.
-
Please explain whats wrong.
-
I just did, twice, in this same thread already.
-
Is it incorrect because you continually complain about being robbed of content?
-
I don't complain. I've made valid points of where my problems with the game are.
-
I would loveeeeee to hear your points lol
-
Search the forum for my posts. Im not here to cater to you.
-
But you expect bungie to cater to you? Funny how that works [spoiler]got emmmmm[/spoiler]

Edited by DMGRGN: 9/17/2015 6:47:23 PMThat isn't what i said and not a single one of my posts implies that. Herr Herr herr SPOILER: no, you didn't.
-
Then what could you possibly be bitching about?
-
THAT CONTENT FROM THE BASE GAME WAS LOCKED. Yes, it actually was. The Daily Heroic. The ability to play missions on any difficulty higher than easy. The Year 1 gear as rewards. And there's more. And if you had bothered to take a few seconds to actually look into it rather than being a dickhead with your assumptions, than you would see that not all of us are upset because we "can't afford it" or "dont like change" or "don't want new gear" which are of course all stupid reasons. But they are not my reasons, which i have just spelled out to you even though all you had to do was look for my other comments IN THIS SAME THREAD. Lazy, dude. Lazy.
-
So you are complaint out of principle? The only legit argument is that you can't afford it or don't want to buy it. Complaining about locked content just to complain is ridiculous. The weekly heroic strike is in line with the new dlc. His exactly could that still be relevant to people without the new dlc? They change so much but you guys are complaint about not being able to do the same stale nightfall again
-
I want, and i deserve, and so does anyone else who bought the base game, to be able to play all Year 1 content to the full extent that it was capable of being played at prior to TTK. This is not a ridiculous desire at all.
-
Considering the Daily Heroics are TTK missions...
-
They are right now, yes. But they aren't always going to be. The dailies are locked out regardless of whether they are TTK missions or not, which is my point.
-
I just think you are stupid for complaining... just get the expansion, clearly you like destiny... and i wouldnt call it lazy, i would call it efficient for not wasting time looking for a post I really dont give a shit about lol
-
Then don't even bother replying if you don't care, because if the best you have is "you're stupid" then it makes it difficult to believe that you have a worthwhile opinion about anything.
-
Well i dont know what its like to be locked out of content because i always buy the dlc... so i could care less if you think what i have to say is worthwhile, but i do know that if someone is still playing destiny a year later, you like it enough that you should just but the expansion and stop complaining
-
That is not a solution. Saying "just get it anyway" is giving Bungie a free pass. Yeah, i know all about the EULA, we all signed it. But buying a game comes with certain expectations, and these expectations were met and then limited after the fact. It is not good business and it is not a good way to keep a loyal fan base.
