I think Bungie dropped the ball... (Destiny)
But to your point, the Quodron fight is light years beyond the rest of PoE in terms of complexity.
And it's the second week of PoE. Bungie has said, more than once, that we haven't seen all there is. Why write a rant about how they dropped the ball before they show you the full playing field?
Because the scope of my post/rant was trying to cover a lot more than just Prison of Elders as a stand alone activity. Yes, I have problems with the game mode itself (including the design of the arenas themselves... something that will remain static even as they add different encounters). I am glad its here. But as a fan of both Destiny and Arena/Survival modes, I personally think PoE is a bit weak.
Plus a huge part of my post was discussing the way PoE has been positioned within Destiny's end game; the way it is the lone reliable way for PvE players to earn important new materials and gear.
*edit* Also just wanted to point out that I did comment in my OP that this is only the 2nd week (as you said) and we're already seeing repeats in the challenges. Struck me as a bit odd, that's all.
