Yeah, I never got why the buff and especially blue flames left the game for NF. On the kick to orbit thing, I just enjoyed how it made it feel so much more rewarding to make it through with your team, you know. I'm not one of these ToO try hards that thinks everything has to be max difficulty or you're filthy casual type guy, but at the same time, NF has become something that is just a strike that needs LFG for a team. Whenever I bother to do one now I can just hop on LFG and put "no mic required" and I don't even worry about their LL anymore. It's just too easy. I don't feel like I'm alone in saying that I miss the importance of Tuesday nights. I used to LOVE racing home after work and getting on with my clan and doing 3 NF's chasing Gally then doing 3 "Coin Runs" (Weekly Heroics) then doing at least 1 if not more raids. It was so much fun and I would stay up well later than I should on a work night. I was meeting people left and right and my friends list was brimming with people on Destiny every day. Now, there's hardly if any friends on anymore and it's not because the game is old now. They have all expressed dissatisfaction with the way things have changed. Citing the game being old (not that you're doing that but others are) is a scapegoat argument to avoid the real issues. Starting with Y2 this game began to decline and it was Bungie's decision making that caused it for a lot of folks.
