And as others have said, it makes sense lore-wise for them to be gone, and it's neat to see different events like that come and go.

They shouldn't have made it lore-dependent though, other patrol activities aren't. (That is, unless they always planned on removing them and wanted an out.) If it's a memory issue or something, I'd understand, but they haven't said anything like that.

Not making it lore-dependent would have defeated the purpose of it. The world changes based on what's happening in the universe, that is interesting and makes it feel like things are progressing. They are adding public events and new patrol activities in TTK to make patrol feel more varied, but not everything in the game world should stick around forever. I defeated Skolas (twice), why would the Wolves still be around? And with the argument of having them space it out instead, that limits the amount of space they can use for future events, such as the Taken showing up in patrols. If you want to argue that a couple of wolves or blades stay, that makes sense to me for a gameplay standpoint, but expecting all of them to stick around just doesn't make sense from a lore standpoint or a gameplay standpoint.
