Ok so I don't mind that into the light is recycled material, maps etc, I don't even mind the recycled Shax lines in onslaught, the dude is even funny in PVE, nice one. Bringing back whisper is really cool, it has always been one of my fav exotic missions.
So, why am I confused? Pantheon and shiny drop rates. With shiny weapons going away with TFS why aren't they all shiny, or why isn't there a way to increase the truly abysmal drop rate.
And Pantheon, who is it supposed to be for. On first glance it would seem to be for new light and non raid players, but it is harder than the actual raid bosses and LFG Pantheon sucks. I have tried several times and have failed to find a team that can even beat the first boss, let alone get through all four, and tomorrow it gets harder!?! wtf?!? So it can't be for new light and non raid players.
But the loot is all the same loot that comes from the raids, so it can't be for the dedicated raiders either because they have the loot already. So who exactly is it for?
Nice that its free, shame that it seems pointless

Pantheon is Bungie's version of getting new players into raids, and getting them the weapons associated with the raid. The problem, is that if this is the case, nothing is explained to the new player or players. On top of that, you're forced to be under leveled much like contest mode, starting off slow to 5 levels under, then escalating until I believe contest mode levels under. As for the "loot" you're guaranteed a raid exotic which is nice, but removes the entire experience that the rest of us have had trying to get these weapons. On top of that, you're also guaranteed an adept version, but can either be as rewarding as soloing a dungeon, or as rewarding as stubbing your toe.
