First of all I do have a disposable income. Just about every player here does otherwise they don't have the game. Second, nowhere did I ever say that I had the gear because quite frankly I didn't care. And third, sure they were protecting their "paying customers," but something as minute and trivial could have been free for the both of us. The fact that you are so naive as to pay money for the same armor and sparrow that I have in a different color is pathetic and shows me and a lot of gamers in general how blindly this community follows Bungie. This time last year, Bungie would have given this to us for free because back then one armor set didn't matter. But they let activision get to them because activision knows how to play fools like you and activision knows that you will go keyboard warrior on anyone that disagrees with their business practices because you are so gullible to believe that spending money on armor that is "useful" for only 3 weeks will enhance your gaming experience
