Everyone thinks it's simple to remake code to being in changes to the game. The live events, the Age of Triumph...all of it must cost quite a bit. Keep in mind that they have salaries to pay constantly, people who monitor the game from within, the PvP testers that get used more than anyone else in bungie because of all the PvP whiners. The whole operation costs loads. It's not nearly as simple as opening a server and boom!!! Everyone goes home for the next 3 years. As for the grind being obsolete, nope, not swallowing that one. I got to use all the gear I spent ages trying to get. So it wasn't wasted time.
