Bungie quote on the Raid 1 month before release. (Destiny)

It's about the group dynamic. It's not just about a casual dynamic. It's about an understanding of people committed to playing the roles in raids. And preparing. With raids, you don't just jump into them. You've got to prepare before you go in, and decide, what are you doing? What am I doing? Let's all talk about it in orbit. Okay, what role are you going to play? Well, I'm an x Titan, whatever type of Titan I am, and I'm going to be defensive and hold positions. And, have you played this before? Yeah, I found success when I did it this way.

I don't think anyone can deny that they're just doing shit to increase player's game time now to compensate for the lack of content.

All of that still applies to every part of the Raid except the Atheon Fight.
