If there's one type of Destiny player I actually want to golden gun in the face, its this.
IT'S A 5 LETTER NAME! ONE YOU STARE AT EVERY TIME YOU DO VAULT OF GLASS!
WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO ADD A RANDOM E IN THERE? Seriously, there is literally no possible reason to misspell any bosses name. This is like spelling Azaxx 'Azzax' or something.
Grrr.

@OP What's really important to understand about Destiny is that you NEED to have a group of friends who play it frequently, consistently, and won't leave you out of games. THAT's whats necessary for you. Doing everything alone is worse than doing everything with friends, especially since the lack of people to play with you will lock you out of major pieces of content that will essentially be required for you to progress in a sufficient manner.
If you have friends who play frequently and consistently and won't hesitate to let you join them, the game's content will be that much more enjoyable.
If you don't, be wary of the purchase. Solo players are screwed by the Destiny system.
As to whether or not buying The Taken King's bundle is worth it, think about it.
You're getting:
Vanilla game
DLC 1
DLC 2
Bigger-than-normal DLC 3
For the price of just Vanilla game.
