Stopped doing them this week when one was archive with lightswitch. Was like, wait, why are we doing this? We're 4 shards from 32, all our weapons are maxed, exotics or raid. We have 50+ ascendant materials.
There is literally no point.
It really shows how bungie horrifically screwed up end game level progression. Raid gear makes not just gear worthless but the shard economy worthless. But then you continue to use non raid weapons in the raid because they are fully leveled vs your not quite leveled raid weapons.
It's just so much facepalm.
It's like no one sat down to ask what will happen when questions. No min/max analysis was done. Nothing in the loot system seems thought through at all.

And just think when the next DLC comes, all your CE gear will dismantle to ascendant shards, which won't be used for anything else. If you think there is no reason to do VOG, just think how useless CE will become.

For better or worse Bungie said they are removing the shard barrier on the next DLC, whatever that will mean. In all likely hood all previous shard/energy will no longer be used. Which would be good actually as long as we could convert them. All gear should just work how exotics do. Glimmer and planet mats.

Maybe you should take a little more time for thought? Not everyone is level 32. There is a progression system. You NEED ascendant mats and upgrade mats to level up. You NEED ascendant mats and upgrade mats to level your weapons. When HoW comes out, you too will be leveling up vanguard gear/weapons. That's not mentioning the experience boost and engram drops that you receive from the daily missions. It's the same thing as bounties, an accelerated leveling path. If the raids are your end game material, preparing for them is a necessary part of the game.
