I love how he says Bungie is listening to feedback. Man, every single interaction from Bungie includes that phrase. Too bad they dont seem to action upon that feedback all that often and I am not holding my breath that they will this time. When they said they listened to our feedback and things will be different around TDB release and nothing changed, I stopped believing that phrase.
So the emote thing: since launch players have been asking for ways to customize their guardians, cosmetic wise. There is a dearth of customization components in the game on character creation and absolutely nothing once in game. New emotes was one of the requested and sought after features for Day 1 players and Bungie knows it so they added it to an expensive content pack that, as Luke admitted, Bungie knew hardcore fans would purchase.
As for the the exotic class items: they are no longer relatively useless cosmetic items. Screengrabs show that they confer perks for the wearer, such as bonus reputation gain with the Vanguard. There are also additional shaders, again a cosmetic item for the characters armor, and early access weapon pack that normal purchasers wont get until January 2016, about 3 months after its become useless. On the launch package, getting early access to the weapons and armor helped with the leveling process, so who knows if its worthwhile here for higher level players, but still a crap thing to cut out for longstanding players.
Basically, everything that a Destiny fan/completionist might want or has been asking for is being locked behind an expensive package that ALSO makes the player repurchase content they already own.
