I don't think kF has the best encounters or overall experience of the Raids, but it does make everyone feel more important, if you ask me.

Oh, I don't disagree with that at all. Don't get me wrong, I really loved King's Fall. As I said, it's the only one I did blind, and I had fun doing it a few more times after that. I like that it requires teamwork in a way that the others don't. I just think there's room for both types of raids, and I hope they can find neat ways to keep the old raids relevant once the new ones come along. That didn't really happen in Destiny 1, until Age of Triumph. I think what they've done there is awesome, and I hope they can just do something similar along the way, asnew content comes out in Destiny 2, rather than just waiting until the end.

We're lucky around here in that it was never really too difficult to find folks willing to run VoG or Crota just for the hell of it, even when they old and irrelevant to the current loot levels. But I also know people for whom that wasn't true. One of my old buddies from the Air Force couldn't get his group of friends to go back to the old raids once The Taken King was out, and that sucks. I get that the fun of it should be it's own reward, but I also just think it's be neat if they could keep old stuff relevant for that as the game moves forward.

... but imagine a (Destiny) world where light level wasn't a thing:

Want the new hotness? Run the latest raid.

Want to run the old raids? They still drop loot that is just as effective as the new hotness.

The light level arms race KILLS variety. How many of Destiny's guns are just replacements for other guns with a higher number attached to them?

Get rid of Light Levels, and suddenly the onus is on Bungie to make each piece of new gear DIFFERENT than stuff that's already in the game. Y'know, NEW content, not just treadmill/reskin BS.
