If Bungie wanted to fix their issues with the raid, all they would have to do is require that users of the VoG checkpoints be the same ones who earned it. That way the 6 guys who fought their way to Atheon are the only ones able to use that checkpoint.
Or maybe have at least 50% of the original Fireteam return to compensate for party members unable to find a convenient time.
This would make the majority of people actually have to play the raid rather than jump in on whichever checkpoint they didn't cheese that week.
And I'm not being hypocritical either, I was a cheeser, but if these ideas were implemented, I wouldn't stop doing the raid, I'd just start running full attempts every week rather than simply a normal mode run and a hard Atheon cheese.
TL:DR - Checkpoint sharing should be more difficult to do rather than just passing the fireteam leadership around.

I'm going to intentionally bump this until it gets notice. I think my idea would be entirely constructive.
