The game is becoming more difficult year after year and I think Bungie is losing players because of it. We don't hear from them, because they are gone, they just leave.
I think things have steered to much towards movement, making it so that players must zip around everywhere to survive. Which is a little harder to do on controller(console) than mouse and keyboard.

I just deleted my other thoughts on this because I don't feel like listening to elitist comments. I was merely expressing my opinion that this game is leaning towards being too sweaty for casual gaming. I think a lot of us don't really care about raids, dungeons, and exotic missions. They are not worth the time and effort.

I just jumped into RotN Prophecy solo explorer mode thinking the enemies have been "dialled down". Got to Phalanx Echo and cleansed the pillars for the first damage phase and what a joke. Amongst all of the ads spawning where some that kept giving the boss immunity, so even during the damage phase there was no let up and even when you cleared all the immunity givers, the boss would raise his own shield also to block damage! Needless to say I returned to orbit and went back with matchmaking.
