Destiny = Pay To Play
I hate how one of the weekly strikes
REQUIRE you to have TDB expansion; it makes me sick with anger whenever I ask my friend "Hey wanna run through the nightfall strike with me real quick?" and he replies "Nope, can't. It's omnigul." My friend doesn't have the expansion pack. The hell, Bungie?!?! My friend could have gotten an exotic, or a weapon that is absolutely OP in the crucible, but you deny him that chance because of this.
He can't get above level 30 either, so that means he gets stomped in the Iron Banner. (There's some Pay To Win for ya.) He can't get HoC and doesn't have G-horn, so it takes forever to find a VoG group that isn't full of the kind and intelligent elitists that we all know and love.
There are even places that are from the HoW that people have [i]already glitched into[/i]! (I've done it myself.) The $hit that we are all psyched to throw our money at is already in the game! Why are they making us pay for something that is already in the game?!
I'm so afraid that this rumored "Comet, Plague of Darkness" Mega DLC will also feature the content for the other two remaining DLCs. The Comet bs will be so full of Pay To Win/Play at this rate. What if the rumored new subclasses are OP? What if the weapons in this expansion are OP?
The bungie I know wouldn't do this. (Hell, any smart company wouldn't do this...)
If you don't like speculation then don't read this spoiler. [spoiler]I personally think it's Activision's fault. Bungie never did anything of this magnitude to us loyal fans before they paired up with Activision. They were great to their crowd when they were paired up with Microsoft, even.[/spoiler]
Hope you enjoyed my rant. I'll be adding edits later on.
Edit 1: I play with him on PS3. He got his own a long time ago, and he got Destiny for his birthday from another friend.
Edit 2: You guys totally are right about the term Pay To Play and how I should have expected a lot of expansions. Don't get me wrong, I like the dark below. But I really think that having to pay for content that's already in the game is fuqed up. I don't believe that you should have to pay again for something that you already paid for.

To scrape up the 20-34 dollars he needs to buy the dlc. You youngsters are too lazy and self entitled nowadays.
-
1 ReplyYou kids need to learn to go mow lawns or something. Seriously you can make $20 an hour doing it and pay no taxes. It's been 3 months, how could anyone still not be able to afford it?
-
1 ReplyHow can you not afford $20? Or is it you refuse to buy it?
-
Shut up Meg!
-
1 ReplyIt's not pay to play, it's a dlc. Is skyrim pay to play?
-
5 RepliesIf he can't afford 20 dollars he shouldn't be playing the game in the first place. Ps you sound ridiculous.
-
Then let him transfer it from you ??
-
3 RepliesFor all the people here saying "yeah but its only 20$". Who knows, maybe he doesnt have the money for that? BTW Destiny is not pay to play, something like world of warcraft is.

Edited by kendallanderson: 3/19/2015 1:24:04 AMNon dlc players can officially reach lvl 32 as of yesterday because of the iron banner gear. I have a friend who doesn't have the dlc but got the iron banner gear and now he can get the chest piece and get 32 without ever touching Crotas end. All these posts are irrelevant
-
They do it because it's a sales tactic and there's armor that make him lvl 31
-
I really only agree with you on one point. Your spoiler. -blam!- Activision. Seriously
-
It's not pay to play, there aren't any monthly subscription fees.
-
ARE YOU RETARDED? You're dumbass friend can get to 31 without any dlc, and then do Iron Banner and get to -blam!-ing 32 with an exotic helmet.
-
You're not paying for something you already have. He doesn't have that strike = he can't play that strike. I think they should have 2 nightfalls/weekly's but hey, don't like it? Get the dlc or play another game...
-
I didn't realize this was still a thing. If you're still playing Destiny and haven't invested in the DLC I really question your ability to complain about this.
-
The game has been out for six months. HoW in six weeks. At this point, it just may be time to get over it. DLC is how Most major release games are being sold; especially those focusing on MP content.
-
5 RepliesHe can get to 31. Anyone can buy the level 31 vanguard or crucible armour, even without having DLC. Idiot.
-
but it's $15
-
I don't think you understand what the term 'pay to play' means in the gaming industry.
-
It is no different than a map pack in CoD, BF, or Halo if you wanna play on all the maps you have to pay for it. You could always be a true friend and buy the expansion pass for your friend.
-
3 RepliesTell your friend to stop being a broke bitch and spend $20

I remember paying $50 when Castlevania 3 came out in 1989/90. Adjusted for inflation would be $89 today's money. That is about what I paid for my version of Destiny, which has been on sale at least twice since it released on X-box live btw. Add to the fact that it's running on a servers and probably took lots more people to develop and publish it's not a bad deal. Game companies are having to find alternative ways to generate revenue streams and keep people interested in their products otherwise they will end up on this list: [url=http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Defunct_video_game_companies]link[/url] So I don't really begrudge them.

2 RepliesHow does he play iron banner isnt it also restricted
-
8 RepliesI'm only responding to the IB bit, he can get vendor gear without the dlc. I have friends without it sitting at 32 because of banner gear. And in the IB there is a 4 light range of no advantage/disadvantage. So being light 30 means he will be at the same fielding as a 32.
