I think I did my last VoG run yesterday... there really is no reason to run it any longer. I did it for an Ascendant Mat run and got the 6 shards I needed to lvl my 33 light bracers. Now there is really no reason to run it. I have a crap ton of Ascendant Energy, all the legendary drops are no longer viable as top tier, even the exotic drops are last season still, raid armor is worthless. I am what you would consider a hard core casual gamer, playing more than a normal person but not hours every day, and it really bums me out that this huge piece of content is now irrelevant 1 week after DLC, honestly I never ran hard mode and I don't see a reason now... I guess there is Mythoclast to still get, but IDK if that is worth putting together a full raid for every week. What is even worse is trying to wrap my head around Bungie's longterm Tiered upgrade strategy... at the current path on the next DLC all of the Vendor Light LVL 33 gear will be purchaseable, which will be legendary and require Ascendants... which means you can just go do a LVL 30 Hard Mode VoG one time and have everything you need for upgrades most likely... or they come up with yet ANOTHER upgrade material? This game is kind of turning into a cluster -blam!- IMO.
