Should I start playing again if I don't get the expansion? (Destiny)

Those articles sum up the feelings that have kept me from playing for the last couple days. With 2 of the three "end game activities" removed form the game for the time being . . .

Yup, a whole week at a time. It's murder, I tell ya.

I really don't have anything interesting bringing me back. I have already felt shafted throughout playing because I don't own a PS3 or a PS4 and now I have to feel more shafted for not buying this new chunk that is getting roasted by reviewers?

If you stopped playing because you'd done everything and got bored, then the expansion adds some new things. If that wasn't why you stopped playing and you don't intend to get the expansion, then no, the other changes I think aren't dramatic enough to warrant a 2nd look.

Some systems were fixed, and drops seem to be more plentiful and take into account what you've received before (I was on a long string of getting only Ascendant Shards and hardly ever getting Energy until the expansion, and that trend has reversed) and I've gotten two whole playerloads of the new legendary armor as rewards or drops on only 1.5 runs through the expansion story missions, two strikes, and zero raids.
