The part you're missing (Gaming)

I refuse to participate in microtransactions.

Microtransactions are entirely optional.

Sure, but that doesn't make them good. Stabbing myself in the dick is optional.

Stabbing yourself would give you no gain, even if only cosmetic.
Microtransactions allow players to gain small additions to their game without giving them an advantage over players who don't partake

Large paid DLCs are not.

With DLCs you do get substance added to a game however, it's basically you pay to upgrade your game or your experience is limited.

That's not necessarily true. You could play Halo without the map packs and still get a good experience. I did it with Halo 3 for quite a while. Destiny obviously screws that up, for sure. It's all a matter of implementation, though.

Unfortunately it's been a very long time since Halo 3. I am sorry but you just can't compare games now as to how they were before.

And map packs don't really add substantial change to the gameplay like say, new subclasses and gear would in a dlc.
