Here's the problem with this design that Bungie have tried. They're trying to stretch the content out so that we always have something to do... Except for all those weeks when we do the have something to do and all the weeks after this last forge drops when we'll have nothing to do until next season.
All in all, we end up waiting the same amount of time between content. Forcibly stretching out this amount t of content already has done more harm than good.
Here's the thing, drop all the content in one go and of course the super hardcore players like the streamers will beat it all and move on to other parts of the game or even other games and that's fine. The rest of us player between streamer level of hardcore play and casual play will play at our own pace and beat the content a couple of days or so after the streamers and also make our own decisions, keep playing the forges, move on to PvP, continue doing milestones when we need nothing anymore or play another game.
Its fine for destiny to have down time, it's perfectly healthy really because if you're pushing yourself to play the same old content to over and over rather than do something else you'd rather do, you get bored and it's easier to get bored when the next lot of content dries up, etc.
Whereas forcing content to last longer while having down time inbetween small drops of content isn't quite as healthy. What do you do between content? You keep playing as you wait, you build expectations for the next lot of content and then it's inevitably worse that what you expected and in the case of the labs, it's straight up destroying any enthusiasm players had for the labs and next forge. Now we're all tired of waiting for the thing we paid for and when we get it, it's designed for a small percentage of players and while we could all in theory give these puzzles a go, we'd get nowhere and most of us have no idea what any of it is about.
Nothing prepared us for this at all. There's nothing there to prepare us for it. Those symbols on the forges? Most of us just Googled how to get the emblems, shot the symbols and that's it, they mean nothing to us and why should they? They've not been explained and even when I did try to look up the significance of them, all I see is people talking about puzzles and codes that I don't understand or care to understand.
