All because of the templar fix.
Unless you have an experienced raid team and good weapons the hard mode raid is an excruciatingly painful experience.
Templar is easily the hardest part of the raid. Without the cheese my raid team and I get stuck at templar for hours sometimes. We never cheesed atheon or NM Templar. We only cheesed HM templar to get to the rest of the raid without wanting to throw our ps4s out the window.
The hard raid is no longer worth it imo.
Hopefully bungie get things right with crotas end.
Edit: What I'm trying to say is that HM templar is harder than it should be and sometimes causes so much frustration that I would rather not do the raid at all. I have beat HM templar many times legit. Just sharing my opinion about the fight.
Edit: Didn't think this would cause such a stir.
Reading through the responses has made me realize how toxic this community is.
Apperently opinions aren't welcome here.
Though I did see some light in the darkness.
IE. people respecting my opinion even if they disagreed
Edit: I want to make it clear that I don't like to cheese or ever relied on the cheese. My raid Team and I are very experienced in the VoG and have beat HM templar many times. I just feel templar needs a little tweeking.
If you think I'm just a scrub and I should "get gud" then that's your opinion and I will respect it.

Agreed the Raid is far too team dependant. First run with my 29 Hunter was completed in about 1 hour, 2 wipes at Gatekeeper. Second run was 2 hours of watching the rest of my fire team (well 3 others) licking the walls. Seriously considering not getting the DLC now, because that was such an not fun experience. Also had to do a few tiger strikes for duplicate exotic bounties (need shards), and that's a mess, so many afkers, so many bads. Bungie are cutting their own wrists with these difficulty spikes, having a group of regular friends to play with is great but for the vast majority of us whose friends have moved onto other games this is not a good experience., having to trawl through forums and DestinyLFG.
