There's no players left. The shitty decisions made regarding pvp have left the pvp landscape barren. The 2 choices are: either revert the changes or double down by consolidating the playlists into one so whoever is left can match one another. Bungie will never revert changes right away because that means that they made a mistake and they can't have that. So usually, they keep the changes for a couple of years and than slowly revert them all while making it sound like the second coming of Christ.
