If you don't see the point in the game until the next DLC drops, why play the game at all? There'll be ANOTHER DLC a couple of months later which will make your purchase of the vendor gear useless. So the question is this: If you consider playing the game in it's current format a "grand task" (FYI it really isn't you're just displaying ignorance to something you clearly haven't done) why are you going to buy the DLC? It's going to be exactly the same situation. Are you looking forward to one more strike and a few more missions? Are you looking forward to getting killed on a couple more crucible maps? You talk about how playing the game is pointless, yet you play it and you're going to spend more money on it. To justify your own stance suggesting that raiding is pointless is hypocritical since it's no different to what you're doing. You talk about how you want to be individual, yet you wear the same gear as everyone else as well. FYI, it's ironic that you're continually making references to an active social life and that an ingame achievement is sad. Considering you're supporting the OP about people looking down their nose at others yet you're doing precisely the same thing. I could go on the defence and harp on about my own life outside of the game as a counter to your constant inference that you have some sort of superior social life, that of course is a pointless exercise. For starters, I could talk about how I'm an astronaut on the international space station. It makes not one jot of a difference because this is the internet and I'm not so insecure about it that I bother to waste my time on the matter with strangers.
