As a typically pessimistic Destiny player... (Criticism)

I'm at 363 and I just don't even want to bother wasting my time butting my head against a light level wall.

...I gotta say I disagree on this one. I never participate expecting to get very far; I participate because its kinda fun taking on large hordes of enemies in an epic fashion. It's the most "Destiny" an activity has ever been, IMO. Maybe Mayhem. Destiny's unique gameplay mechanism is Light. The activities that utilize it more tend to be the most fun gameplay wise and have the most flair to them.

And the fact that they made made sure to include a quick-swap flag in the difficulty change shows that they wanted to make sure that, no matter which direction was default and which was backup, they could give some weight to the community feedback without risking any long term issues. I'd share your concern if they made this change in such a way that it would take a long time to reverse, or even worse if it was irreversible. But I think they handled it well.
