problem with your phone analogy is that you can use the phone too do what you used to do . its not like you cant IM any more cuz you didnt buy the upgraded phone. you can use the features that came with that phone you payed for . the point is with the game you cant they made it so to enjoy the game you have to buy TTK all other purchases are null and void and dont matter . fine you can play story that you already played through and thats about it , they are forcing the issue of you want to play the game how you were before TTK buy TTK thats not how it should be . it should be broken up into DLC holdings where each DLC still has its value of things to do for there price . you payed for this this and this you shouldn't just get that and thats all . i have TTK and im not happy with what limited play is avail to me compared to before TTK . you all can white knight bungie all you want , this is Expansion treats its previous customers Poorly . your new ? welcome you wont miss anything . till the next expansion when the TTK content will be locked out behind the next DLC .
