Don't get me wrong. I think that overall, the Expunge missions were cool...for the first few times. After that, they got tedious pretty quickly. And now we've seen the storyline played out with the final Expunge mission how quickly will they get abandoned by players?
Now the only reason I plan to return to Expunge missions is to finish up a few challenges and requirements for the season title, and perhaps some farming for gear. Overwise I won't be going back to them again...
...like Battlegrounds, Empire Hunts, Wrathborn Hunts, Nightmare Hunts, etc.
Bungie really needs to find a way to make these things pertinent to any season, like having bounties that require dipping into them as part of the bounty. Something. Instead, these activities get used up and then are left littering the game world like discarded pistachio shells after the nut has been eaten.
This is a real game design challenge - creating seasonal content that is featured in that season but is still integrated into the game somehow afterward. I've seen other games add stuff that becomes forever intertwined into the game. Bungie needs to do that.

Not a fan of this season model at all. Way more boring than last season and they can't use the Covid excuse this time. Just lousy content to the core!
