My group has always done the Templar without going to the outside towers, its not that hard. I really don't see how this is a big issue. Is there something that the Templar is doing to make you fail? I think it's better this way, because let's be honest here; the raids are only going to get harder as more expansions are released. Might as well build a talent on how to handle situations like this. Bungie stated that the raid was to be challenging. And they have the power to change the game as they see fit. With that said, if they want it difficult, then it shall be difficult.
