I think Bungie dropped the ball... (Destiny)

I should clarify: my 1 hour of ToO resulted in a Flawless Victory. From what I can gather, 2-3 pieces of Etheric Light is about par for the course for a flawless victory.

A flawless victory is something most of use will never ever see. Comparing that reward level of ToO to anything else in the entirety of Destiny is just not right. I'm a decent Crucible player. I've played three serious ToO sessions along side decent Crucible players and I have never gotten above 3 wins. I'm thinking you need to do a reality check and should consider that what most of us will ever get out of ToO (other than intense frustration) is nowhere near what you got out of it.

On the bigger picture of PoE, I just find it silly how you talk about trying pieces of a raid from the left side, then the right side... when a lot of the advice for section of PoE is "we had luck trying it from the left side" or "Cluster on the right side." I'm not saying PoE is equal to a raid... to me raids have more thematic continuity and that counts for something... but the harder challenges of PoE are roughly as replayable as any section of either Raid.

Furthermore, you seem to be judging the first couple of weeks of PoE vs months of people having figured out the Raids. Even week to week we breezed through the same PoE room that we were stuck on just one week earlier. As players level up the 34 level PoE will become much easier than trying to run it as a 32 or 33. Same as the seemingly impossible sections of the Raids were quickly broken down and figured out and get easier as players leveled from 28 to 32 or 30 to 32. Also, PoE isn't finished revealing all of its content. By the time the we see all the content it may turn out that PoE has more unique segments than either VoG or Crota's End. Maybe the Raid segments are a bit more challenging or a bit more team dependent or whatever but in the grand scheme of things I don't think the Raids and a high level PoE run won't be all that dissimilar in the way they challenge players.
