It was too obvious a visual image (Destiny)

In that area you are tasked to cut down enemy numbers as they were too numerous and interfered with scouting (an actual task given by the beacon about 20m from the place were you shot from).

It is a futile task as they always respawn and it does tend to get a bit boring. You have to switch off your mind and get in the groove or try to add variety by altering how you kill them.

Point is that a youtube video of a guardian performing said pointless task would not make it obvious how pointless the task was. You wouldn't get that just from a 20 seconds clip.

OTOH 20 seconds of a bunch of guardians unloading into a cave makes the point too well. Bungie couldn't tolerate the negative publicity that that image provides. They had to fix it.
