Etheric light TOTALLY ruined House of Wolves. Bungie listened to players complaining about their VOG gear being less powerful and decided to allow us to ascend them to current power levels. This was probably also to make up for having no raid in House of Wolves. In reality, it totally made House of Wolves weapons worthless. No one wants to go through Skolas because it takes so long, has low gear drop rates, and the weapons are inferior to VOG and Crota gear due to etheric light. Continuing this same trend into next year would be a horrible mistake. Why should players be able to go through an easy, old raid to get gear that is able to be as good if not better than new end game gear? That's exactly what happened with House of Wolves- don't want to see end game gear ruined again.
