In order to make money they must have a product that meets expectations and is enjoyable. If they don't get it together they will lose business, end of story. It's a consumer based market and anyone that knows a lick about it will tell you that one must have a good product in order to succeed. It is their job to please the player base, which includes myself and the naysayers you mentioned. We find the raid extremely enjoyable that's our opinion, if you think it's mundane then that's your opinion, I don't agree but you're entitled to it. As consumers of electronic game content we vote with our money, it will be interesting to see how this DLC performs. Not including a new Raid is a huge risk. Most buyers of DLC are committed players, and it's safe to assume that most people who purchased the DLC have played a Raid and enjoy it. In essence, Bungie is pushing their committed player base with this decision, and there is many of us according to your "squeakers and nay sayers" comment who riddle the forums to annoy you. I know you feel differently and that's okay, but this is how it looks from our point of view.
