Guys,
Mercury can't be in the game because it's the hottest planet in the solar system. It basically touches the Sun's CMEs and we would all be dead immediately due to radiation and heat. Why do people want to go to a molten rock and fight the vex? These things blow my mind.
Why do people keep saying VENUS is hotter than Mercury? You guys need to learn the order of the planets.

To clear people up. Venus' average temperature is hotter than Mercury's because all of that heat can't escape venus' thick atmosphere, while mercury no longer has an atmosphere due to being burned off from being so close to the sun. So mercury does get much hotter than Venus during they day, but since mercury has no way of keeping any of that heat in, it becomes extremely cold during night. To the op though, technically we would instantly melt if we ever stepped on Venus too. The burning shrine map is on mercury, so we do technically play on mercury.
