I can understand the nightfall exp buff, but you didn't need a class item to get bonus rep. They made rank ups harder to attain. Primaries with elements were very useful. Maybe they could have implemented something we wanted, easier obtainable elemental primaries. And most games that leave raids behind have a lot of raids and many yrs worth of content to play. You can't defend making the raid irrelevant when there's only 4 raids. It used to be worth it to do vog for exotics. Now there are way easier activities to do for them.
