I'm not too upset about not having the few extra emotes personally, but you don't want to see someone tied in so closely with the development process have such a poor understanding of what the fan base wants.
I'm more concerned with the $40 for just the expansion. With a price that's 2/3 the cost of the original game, I expect to get at least 1/2 the original game's worth of new content...I'm not sure how they're going to do that with only one new location.

I'm not even really that upset about the $40. Comparing expansion prices with original prices is usually a poor exercise because it's rare that the value is that comparable for any game. Even $80 for Collector's Edition is fine for a first time player. The problem is how first time players get seemingly more content than those who have been around prior to Taken King, and how those who have been around longer have no access to it without paying for old content. In this case, I would say mircotransactions is actually the lesser of two evils. The player base isn't upset about the pricing, but the fact that they're being locked out of content that should be easy to make available to others. It's really a simple solution, but Bungie somehow turned it into a PR disaster.

The other great part is there's less of a need to hang out in the airlock waiting for your synth cooldown.

And apparently I lied about this. My buddies did this yesterday. Lightswitch modifier makes this encounter pretty awful. I'm going to be avoiding Skolas this week.
