Finally Forging (Destiny)

However, I don’t think launching Forges from orbit is necessarily a bad idea. Landing, sparrowing for 30 seconds, then launching the Forge to get kicked into matchmaking and another load is really stupid design. Every other match made activity can be launched from orbit, why not this one?

I suspect that the Forges were originally intended to be in-patrol matchmade activities like Escalation Protocol and Blind Well, but underwent a last-minute change due to all the complaints about how those functioned. To me that explains the weirdness of how leaving the activity puts you back into patrol, but leaving the queue sticks you back into orbit.
