Nostalgia glasses do this for every game, but vanilla Destiny was a nightmare at launch. Sure Vault of Glass was maybe the best raid ever, still I think 1/4 of the player base could get it done so it was meaningless for the bigger part of the community. Also harder doesn't necessarily means better; IMO a games content shouldn't be accessible only by the minority of the population because of braggin' rights, surely D2 is maybe too easy as it is now, but there's still time to tune things. Also, about DLCs, I think it's a good way to keep the cash flowing for shared world online game like this, I've played WoW for 12 years, so a 40 bucks season pass for a year of content doesn't scare me at all...
