100% agreed. The Nightfall is worthless and the weekly heroics are equally bad, especially when you consider Legendary Marks were only useful the first two weeks of TTK. Once you build a surplus, they are useless and there is no reason to to run a weekly. Just play a daily to infuse a couple pieces of gear and move on.
My issues with the Nightfall are these:
1) No more faction rep. Bring back the 500 faction rep. Same with the weekly heroic. 500 per character.
2) No more radiant light and XP boost.
3) Underwhelming rewards. With "infuse" as a leveling means and being able to complete the Raid, I do not need to acquire lower level gear from a Nightfall. Legendary armor drop increased? I don't need legendary armor. Three legendary marks don't interest me. 3 of Coins are purchasable. 12 Strange Coins aren't worth the effort. I unlocked all of the year one exotics, so I have already purchased a year 2 equivalent of anything useful (that's right, the new exotic armor is garbage). Telesto and Supercell are literally the only worthwhile weapons that are RNG, not quest related. And Xur will sell them before long.
4) Duplicate rewards. And I mean duplicate. Here's what "RNG" has blessed with:
2 x Hawkmoon (already had two)
1 x Obsidian Mind (already had three)
1 x Heart of the Praxic Fire (already had one)
1 x Crest of Alpha Lupi for my Titan (already had 2)
12 x Strange Coins
And the rest escape me. Probably legendary garbage that was instantly dismantled.
In year one, I valued the Nightfall Accordingly:
50% Faction Rep
25% Radiant Light
15% Exotic Drop
10% Booby Prize (Dragon's Breath, NLB, Legendary Engram - anything for a laugh with my friends)
When TTK dropped, I was hungry for anything that wasn't rare armor and the Nightfall had promise. Now that I have full legendary gear and get my infusibles from the raid, what's the point? I can't get faction rep, which was half the reason to play the Nightfall to begin with (I want them shaders and ships!!!) and I can't get radiant light. And let's face it, once you lose the first two things, booby prizes are a piss-off and a duplicate Obsidian Mind is maddening.
Nightfalls have no value. And this is coming from a day-one player that has been wrecking Nightfalls since Valus Ta'aurc first reared his ugly head as a 28 Ultra.
Anyhow, what I am really trying to say is BUMP!!!
