The game mode was one of the best things that happened to Destiny and I haven't seen it in the Seasonal fashion that I expected; or at all for that matter. Why no SRL?
The reasons I Love that game were (Mostly) anything, but the loot:
- Six guardian fireteam entry. I could WhoP all My Friends, but also, when it came down to the last few days, We could help each other complete quests.
- It took no longer than five minutes per run and while the sixth Guardian for a Raid was finishing a match, the other five could do one to three races and we didn't have to opt for Hide-and-Seek at the tower (which is fun, but not AS fun.)
- Akin to the aforementioned, the loot was not the forefront of the allure, but it had its merits. A rare and a legendary was almost guaranteed per round. While I could foresee that being an issue (I'd overlook it were I You), I don't think it had any negative effect on the game as a whole, in fact quite the opposite.
- Also, FUN. This mode was so FuN it made the game as a whole vastly more playable. Given the oft redundant gun firing, It was fantastic to have a reprieve. I hope this reaches enough Ears and Eyes to so this return before year three as, I'll admit, I'm becoming a wee impatient. My sparrow feels too fast on patrol again.
I'd Love to Shoot You later,

I wouldn't mind them adapting patrol maps into SRL circuits.
