This whole "economy" is out of whack. Even legendary shards. Yes there are some of us that have hundreds of shards. But the cost to focus engrams and other things is expensive. And the means to acquire shards doesn't seem to meet the spending of them.
And for newer players? Woooowee! I feel sorry for them. Just paying for EACH DLC, the dungeons, etc. It's just TOO MUCH.
But we can't blame the company for whale fishing, if the whales keep biting.

I think the biggest issue you mentioned is new players. I’ve played since D1 and all these years later I have finally convinced friends to try Destiny and initially they loved until they ran into a wall because of all the gated content. There is no single, reasonable purchase that gets you all or most of the content. Dumb, greedy strategy for Bungie.
