So "not as we intended" equals "Bungie hates us and/or is dumb?"

Not exactly.
I'll go with 'missing the point', though. The fact that Jason Jones himself said he felt the need to provide a reason for people to replay levels instead of just having them be fun on their own is evidence to that. I don't believe in adding features to a game with the intent of ensnaring players and give them ulterior motivations to complete levels they may not enjoy playing.

Like I said in another reply. You have to level up with gear and items and shards in order to play the Raid, which will MAYBE net you items that will LEVEL YOU DOWN, so that you can spend more time to level them up so you can play the Raid which will maybe net you items...

All so that you can eventually make it to level 30.

Yeah, we all know the bitching Cody Miller did about Reach too because it too had an investment system that I personally was ensnared by. I actually quit playing Reach for hours every day once I got the full Gungnir set. That was my goal, and once I grinded for it, I quit.
Did I need to? No, I didn't, but the only way I could get that armor was to do what I did. Just as the only way to get to level 30 is to play the game in a certain way. There's no PVP option. There's no other way to do it aside from Raid Gear.

I don't like being railroaded, whether it be in DnD, or in a video game.
