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

I disagree with the reason change. It seems apparent to me that Bungie made the decision for the encounter to teleport the three furthest players from Atheon into the Timestream. That seems to be pretty difficult situation to have come up because of a bug, as they have described it.

Just as it happens in every single MMO, the players figured out the mechanic and devised a strategy to overcome the encounter. So, when the players figure out the other strategies for future raids, will those be randomized, too? When does the randomization end? What's the big deal with players figuring out the mechanic?

I certainly believe randomizing the players that are teleported to the Timestream will make the encounter more dynamic, but I don't believe Bungie "didn't intend" for the encounter to be different than what we see now. If they wanted to randomize that aspect, they would have done that by launch.

It's awfully hard for me to buy that this is a bug in the code.
