This is 100% a fantastic thing. (Destiny)

This isn't a huge problem right now because everyone is a paying customer. This distinction will only get worse, and fast, if the system goes free to play.

Are they? How many maps that started out paid attached to The Dark Below and House of Wolves and the Sony Play Station are now free for everyone? Something like 9 right? People who didn't buy The Dark Below and House of Wolves got new public events and new armor and weapon models and bug fixes and public events. And they didn't get to play new missions or raids. They didn't get access Raid specific items like guns, shaders, ships.

The game has been split for a while now, really. The best we can hope for is the additional income from the cosmetic items really does let Bungie deliver neat bits of new content while they also work on large, impressive paid updates like The Taken King. If I can get quality new content inbetween the paid releases without personally having to spend a dime I'll certainly take it!
