They basically powercrept and over-complicated all Raids and Dungeons from TFS onward. The good thing is that those activities don't really have incentives to grind (outside of some Armor). I agree with the sentiment in general though. If a Raid is "too easy" then run it on Masters. No need to overcomplicate the slightly more casual modes. VOG & Warlords are quality baselines for difficulty, mechanics and time invested. Can't blindly and mindlessly complete them (especially with newbs) but also not backbreaking, perfect coordination and infinite sweating to complete. I don't care how many times I run Vesper's Host, or what difficulty, the final boss fight is an insane sweatfest every single time. And for that reason, I despise that dungeon. Unfortunately, Bungie sought to fanservice their top 1% by ratcheting up the complexity and difficulty of all new Raids and Dungeons. This was intentional for numerous reasons. #1. It turns basically 90% of the playerbase to content creators for guides and tips. #2. When the content initially drops with contest mode, streamers pull record numbers. #3. It turns a significant number of the playerbase to content creators for carries. It's just pure fanservice and a way for them to back CCers who are just free marketing and guides for their franchise.
