Let's see, according to figures released by Bungie, only 20% of active players do the raid. Bungie focused on PVP and raids far more in the first seven months than PVE. PVE players leave in droves for lack of content, same ol' same ol',,,,,,,,,,no thanks, can only kill Valus, Sepkis, etc. so many times it's numbing. Bungie has elected to try and save 80% of its' player base by pissing off the elitists 20% raiders. Smart business decision, if the PVE content and excitement is there.
