I'm unfortunately going to have to cancel my pre-order for The Taken King. I can not condone these types of business practices from such an esteemed company.
This is just as bad as having to buy the same game 2-3 times from different stores to unlock all the exclusive real life vendor dlc. I have to buy the game a second time so I can have a cool sparrow that I'll barely be able to see due to my character obscuring it, an exotic class armor piece that increases xp that I'll never be able to use because I need to rank up my factions, and emblems? How can you give out emblems to players? It was bad enough when you gave out emblems to people for being on bungie.net for way too long, now you give it out exclusively to new players and only give us some measly loyalty emblem?
I can't tolerate this any longer, I'm going to have to go play TESO instead where I can buy a horse for 25 dollars.

Deej: "Oh no..."
*Deej runs out of his house, gets in his car to get to the office. It breaks down.
So he goes on foot.
He crosses the deserts, climbs mountains, sail the deadly seas. He must get this information to Harold Ryan, the president of Bungie.
Finally, Deej reaches his destination.
He is exhausted.
Deej is drenched in sweat and hardly able to breath. He could fall over dead any minute.
Deej: "Mr. Ryan sir... Vilyn117 is quitting."
Ryan: "Who?"
Deej: "Vilyn117, sir..."
Ryan: "My god...bring me the button."
*Deej breaks open a glass box on the wall labeled Use in case of emergency.
He pulls out a button from the scattered remains and hands it to Ryan.
Ryan pushes the button
Confetti pops everywhere and a banner drops that reads No One Cares in bright bold letters.
A faint "Yea" can be heard in the background.
Ryan: "Money well spent."
*Looks over to Deej
Ryan: "Now get back to work and remember to tell me every time someone quits. I just love using this button."[/quote]
