To get to 310 Light Level, we all will have to play the King's Fall several times. So for a lot of us year 1 players, the VoG, Crota's End and Prison of Elders, is a waste of time. The previous endgame is... for the most part completely useless to us. There is no year 2 gear that drops, I'm not even sure if you get reputation/XP for doing them. Playing the previous raids and PoE is pretty much a big waste of time.
So, that just leaves us with quests, that is just as much as a grind as before and King's Fall... All other content is pretty much irrelevant to us. Why doesn't Bungie, to be quite frank, get off their ass, and write some kind of algorithm into the year 1 content, to allow VoG, PoE and CE to drop year 2 gear, at higher difficulty? I know I'm not a developer, but why couldn't they add another tier or two and up the difficulty to 280 - 300 light, and let the engrams and gear, fall where it may?
At this point, I have absolutely no reason to play previous endgame content. Heck, even the nightfalls are a bust most of the time now. Even the sneaky, secret missions for things like the Black Spindle and Sleeper Simulant, is irritating, because a lot of us actually have to work during the week, have families and responsibilities. By the time we have time, the events are over.
For those that will say "Quit" bitching... I'm saying this to make all of our experiences better. And if Bungie wants to drop this public perception that they are only out to make money, with expansion after expansion, they need to do a better job at making all preexisting and future content, relevant to the people who have plunked down their money on the core game and every expansion since!
