I believe it's important to incentivize players to help Sherpa new players through raids; they shouldn't be told, "Go watch a raid guide for dummies." It would be a good idea to reissue gg emblems and have them linked to Sherpas. For starters, I am referring to the following emblems: Helping Hand, Neophyte Guide, Apprentice Guide, and Master Guide. These were previously obtained raid completions in the gg playlist by being a guide and helping raid "seekers" through a raid. As of now, gg has been retired along with the emblems, but I think there is an excellent opportunity to add them back, like the 10 Sherpas emblems obtained through Bungie Rewards.
An excellent way to add them back without players being upset is:
A.) keep the requirements for the emblem (1,10,25,50) sherpas and have it tracked across [b]all[/b] raids.
B.) Players need to keep their previous progress. We already have stat trackers in-game that show sherpas. Once you get to the amount (1,10,25,50) needed for each respective emblem across all raids, you get it from either Bungie rewards or special deliveries.
Again, this helps with the primary goal of helping new players get into raids.
Let me know what you think!

They have Sherpa emblems now to be fair
