Bungie, You probably won't even read this but you killed the point of doing the raid. You focused so much on making sure everyone reached a high enough level to do the raid that there is no challenge or point. Why? The weapons don't drop with specialized perks, like the exotic skyburner. The armor isn't special. I can achieve the same light level drops by doing the weekly milestone rewards. (Slower, but no pain and agony of finding a good group.) I have no reason to raid. I don't have to sit through the headache of trying to figure out the raid because i can get similar things through NF and milestones. What you should of done, capped everyone 15 to 20 power below. Only allowing the raid and trials to reach MAX gear. Nf and iron banner should reach 10 to 5 below max (allowing the complainers to still level up) Only dropped weapons with specialized perks to make PvE eaiser (extra damage against cabal, fallen, etc.) With the whole beta, join a Clan for the raid, there is no reason why people couldn't of hit max. The issue in D1 was finding a group and waiting on the forums for someone to like you..... the beta should solve that. Also adding beta for trails would be nice. Idk who was in charge of letting players reach max through regular game play. But that seriously was a bad move. If you need proof, just look on these fourms. Players are bored. No reason to raid, no reason to get raid gear, no reason to really play...................
