Bungie have announced a new scheme which rewards those who shepherd new players through The Taken King. There is a rather fussy FAQ and walkthrough which involves linking your veteran character to a newbie via the Bungie website and then following quests to get exclusive loot.
Both players need to be on the same system, either Xbox One or PlayStation 4, the older consoles are not supported.

Hmm, what response to use?
A. A snarky one.
B. Pointing out that this does not need to be a thing.
C. Making a penis joke.
D. Implying something smutty.
E. Wondering why they are trying to make the mere act of having a mate play the same game as you as something to be rewarded for.
F. Make another silly joke involving monkies.
G. Facepalm with enough force that it actually sends me to Mars.
