Bungie, you need to give us something to do. The hardcore players have had three level 32s for a long time now, we're all closing in on owning all of the exotics in the game (one of my friends has them all) and we're collectively running out of carrots to chase.
Throwing Iron Banner at us over and over again is an okay distraction but we are still getting bored, we are running out of reasons to play this game. I personally only still play crucible for the fun of it but there's actually no incentive whatsoever for me to play PVE. I have nothing to upgrade, only one exotic weapon to still get and it's not even a good one!
Please stop removing good playlists from crucible?! I understand you're probably trying to direct attention to Iron Banner but stop taking away Salvage, and bring back more inferno playlists! Me and my friends were really excited at the idea of playing Inferno Skirmish. That'd take teamwork to a whole new level and I personally think myself and my friends would excel at it, we were really excited to play it but now you've taken the inferno playlists away?? What gives?!
What on earth happened to Trials of Osiris? Why is it in our director but greyed out?
PVE events? What happened to these? The Queen's Wrath was pretty cool and gave us a nice variety of things to play.. Why not bring that back, and add some more interesting modifiers to the game? Make it more challenging and fun? I would love to play through a story mission with some simple modifiers like increased melee damage, full agility, no recharging shield, no radar, more aggressive AI, double enemy numbers and half enemy health.. etc etc. Things that would mix it up a little!
We (me and my group of friends) used to have 8 people every tuesday ready for raiding and nightfalls. This week we had 2, everyone's pretty much given up.
TL:DR; We're getting bored. Lots of us are leaving the game in favour of less laggy games/ones with more content & replay value.

There is nothing they can do at this point. Even HOW isn't going to bring players back for long. By then, most haven't played in months and if it isn't an amazing raid .......it will be back to whatever game they are playing now.
