Why on earth do you make a weapon ornament and a sparrow that fit the theme of the new expansion purchase only? Running the Scarlet Keep on Master Difficulty should offer a small change on these items, no? (These should only be obtainable by doing this activity)
The harpy shell. The most creative and awesome looking ghost shell Ive seen in a long time. You make a new Vex raid with a Harpy boss. Give it unique animations when you pull it out (the arms flailing out the back of the ghost when you pull it up). Completing GoS within a certain time period/flawlessly should reward this item, no?
The Lord of Wolves sparrow. You gave us an emblem for that Lord of Wolves event that plagued the crucible for so long. Why? Because you can make money off the sparrow? Also, contrary to popular opinion the 'event' wasnt fun. It was a broken sandbox that left decent players at a loss as to why they should bother even playing PvP.
The weapon ornaments like the Izanagi's burden. Instead of adding them into an engram pool like you did last year, why not incentivise re running old content in a CHALLENGING way to get this? NOT 'Kill x vex and do the hokey pokey on the third corner near a lost sector'. Stop with these pointless objectives.
The Master Nightfall is a fantastic experience. I farm that for like 3-6 hours a day to get mats and better rolled exotics. I enjoy each run trying to be my previous time and the tough enemies.
TLDR: Please start giving 'good' players something to chase and reward truely difficult content and triumphs with exclusive badass looking loot. NOT an emblem.
A prime example is a taken shader. Even if it was a clone D1's. Why not reward this to players that flawlessly solo'ed Shattered Throne? I honestly have NO idea why anyone would want to solo that bar the challenge. At least let them flex with something that is instantly recognizable for their efforts. Another small bonus (which is big for me) is that this gives a matching armour set to the gambit weapons with the taken ornaments.
SMALL NOTE: I absolutely understand that since the break with the money providers, the content will be less and you need to get more money for more content. I get that and appreciate that. I welcome paid cosmetics when they are appropriate. The 'Kneel down with a cool aura around you' solstice emote, I bought right away. That thing looks awesome. I bought Vanguard skins for the mangerie weapons because I can then use them with my vanguard armour. I am happy to give money. Just dont take things that clearly belong in game and sell them for extra.

The nightmares should add items based on what the nightmare is. IE Crota giving the D1 Crota armor.
