So I was looking through the forums, and seeing the requests for things like a Survival Mode, and World Bosses and such, and remembering the stories of the fabled Loot Cave, and had an idea. Why not combine all of those things into the Patrol Missions?
Every time you wipe out enemy bots, they will respawn with higher numbers, and higher levels, by a steadily increasing amount, until you're fighting off the final wave of a level 30 elite mob. If you survive that, you will trigger that area's "Boss", and will have to fight, or run, until the boss is defeated, or the timer runs out and the map resets.
To back this idea up with a little it of Lore, we are the last surviving members of humanity, fighting at the tail end of a losing war with several species of powerful enemies. With this idea in play, we get to have a taste of what we are truly facing in our battle against the Darkness.
This would turn any standard Patrol into end game content, as only the most skilled (and heavily armed) Guardians would be able stand against such an onslaught, thereby giving the high level players something else to do besides just grind the Raid.
