And those buying items just to get extra mission.. well fans already purchased the DLC from Bungie, yet they have to fork out extra $$ to get the extra missions and probably the item they never need? As a gamer, it is not really 'complete' until u finish all the missions right? Now imagine they did it with 5 more other random items you need to buy on top of paying the DLC. It is definitely a trend I will not support, as a gamer.

Diablo 3 Reaper of souls story mode was short... It added one chapter containing around 5-6 missions that can be completed in around 2 hours of play. As with Destiny, it's not about the story. It's about the grind of paragon levels, greater rifts, seasonal loot. If you're comparing to Diablo III Reaper of Souls, then The Taken King has more content than that did.
While I agree that piecing out missions to an already pricey DLC isn't a great strategy, but for something that is actually free(because like I said, who doesn't buy energy drinks now and then) and then it contains XP boost along with the mission, I don't see the need for huge backlash.
When Halo 4 came out with the Doritos and Mountain Dew codes for bonus XP in multiplayer, no one complained. They were going to buy it anyway, and the XP bonus was an awesome perk. No one said it was pay to win, no one said it was unfair, no one said anything bad.
If this was for House of Wolves, would media complain as much? Or is this just blowing out of proportion because of the bad response over The Taken King?
