Really ? what is it with you and removing bounties ?
Why does everything outside of portal have to be worthless ?
Bounties gave you that extra to do when exploring planets, extra exp and had you use different weapons.
Not to mention how good it would be for the new players that might join. It would help them level up and get them to interact more with the game.
I used to go there to do the bounties for the easy xp. Whilst doing so i got to help new lights with completing public events and also killing high value targets.
The new light campaign was already baren, terrible and extremely unhelpful to understand how the game works. Now with bounties removed, there is even less for them to do.

I'll point out that the removal of the bounties actually broke a quest that targets the New Light experience. The quest Anomalous Object requires that the player complete 3 bounties from Failsafe.
