I believe my response based on the fact that I have spent my entire career developing software in shops ranging from just a few people to ones even larger than Bungie. You do not have to believe what I have experienced, in terms of software development practices, but you sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling "Neener! Neener! Neener!" has no impact on what I have been exposed to that consumers are generally not aware of. Other developers who play this game have stated the same thing on other countless threads, just like this one. Honestly, I have no idea what point you are trying to make in your statement. The Ultra Captain is a placeholder, likely from play testing a spawn point. That is not what an NPC is. An NPC is Eris, a mechanic that Bungie specifically said was added as a content delivery mechanism based on user feedback. Completeness is not, and never will be, an indication of something being cut. The only thing that it proves is that they are ahead of a deadline - for however "complete" something is. If it was done and ready for everyone to access, it would have been either included or sold to you already. They have absolutely nothing to gain by holding back content for quarterly releases when they could have sold it to you thrice already.
