Why can't they set it up so that these events are automated?
It seems like it'd be pretty easy to do with some simple RNG. Random Number for the Trials map, choosing again if it picks a map that's already appeared in the last few weeks. Another Random Number to decide which bounties to use, and another to decide what IB loot is available.
I get that it's probably a ****-ton more complicated than that...but surely it's doable?
Even though Destiny is at the end of its life cycle, there could still be people who will want to play the game in the future. They could be old fans returning from D2 for nostalgia, or they could be curious individuals who buy the game on sale. I think these events should remain so that these people don't miss out on the experiences that we've enjoyed all this time.
Plus, there's a ton of loot that's ONLY available from these activities, and it'd really suck to have all of them permanently rendered impossible to obtain.

Because you need the latest DLC to play them. The newest DLC is D2. Throw more money at the screen or suffer. Remember they did the same in year 1. Then with TTK. And agin with ROI. Completely stupid to turn them off. They are already automated. Bungie is really talking physical effort to disable them.
