No there was no promise of a raid. Bungie should of had a more candor approach to what exactly their season pass holders blindly purchased. The Dark Below had a new raid, so it was assumed that these two expansions mirrored each other based on price. Comparatively on price, Bungie's DLCs have offered very little in opposition to other MMO expansions. Most MMO expansions offer new dungeons, new raids, and new classes at the same price. Mindful that some of these are on a subscription basis. To offer a lackluster, content-less vanilla game to begin with, plus a DLC with a few backwards, reskinned maps, ships, and weapons, then offer no raid with this new content, despite the delays and nerfs; Bungie has set the bar to an all time low by any optimistic light.
