I'm surprised that many people are still willing to pre-order. Even Bungie doesn't have the greatest track record.

A lot of the excitement for this specific expansion has to do with it being, in a lot of ways, a spiritual sequel to The Taken King. Which is considered by many to be the best expansion in the franchise and now with the Witch Queen, you're facing the sister of the Taken King. So there's tons of excitement for it based on that premise alone since she's been a big bad figure hiding in the shadows for years now.
