How Year 1 Players "Lost" Content Too

To get to 310 Light Level, we all will have to play the King's Fall several times. So for a lot of us year 1 players, the VoG, Crota's End and Prison of Elders, is a waste of time. The previous endgame is... for the most part completely useless to us. There is no year 2 gear that drops, I'm not even sure if you get reputation/XP for doing them. Playing the previous raids and PoE is pretty much a big waste of time. So, that just leaves us with quests, that is just as much as a grind as before and King's Fall... All other content is pretty much irrelevant to us. Why doesn't Bungie, to be quite frank, get off their ass, and write some kind of algorithm into the year 1 content, to allow VoG, PoE and CE to drop year 2 gear, at higher difficulty? I know I'm not a developer, but why couldn't they add another tier or two and up the difficulty to 280 - 300 light, and let the engrams and gear, fall where it may? At this point, I have absolutely no reason to play previous endgame content. Heck, even the nightfalls are a bust most of the time now. Even the sneaky, secret missions for things like the Black Spindle and Sleeper Simulant, is irritating, because a lot of us actually have to work during the week, have families and responsibilities. By the time we have time, the events are over. For those that will say "Quit" bitching... I'm saying this to make all of our experiences better. And if Bungie wants to drop this public perception that they are only out to make money, with expansion after expansion, they need to do a better job at making all preexisting and future content, relevant to the people who have plunked down their money on the core game and every expansion since!

    They needed to make them matter. I would have done this. All raids require you to be level 40. Max light you can get from vanguard is 180. A full vog set gets you to 230. Crota full set would get you to 260. Prison would get you to 290 and kings fall would get you past 300. By doing the next level raid you could ascend the lower raids weapons. So after you beat crota you could turn in vog weapons for a 260 version. Once you beat kings fall you could then infuse all raid weapons. This way year one players could have pretty much jumped right into kings fall. Those who just started would have to work up the ladder of raids. Once you beat kings fall all vanguard and faction vendors up their gear level to 280+. This way new players get the full effect, thus expanding their play time, right up buggies alley. And us year 1 players move right into the new expansion content.
