I think it's stupid, but the part I hate more is "Hey, let's wait until a random day with no warning whatsoever to release this quest for this exotic everyone has been searching for. People actually thought there were secrets and steps they needed to complete to unlock stages, and they searched, and they did well, but ultimately it's just been down to some guy at bungie pushing the button that says "k they can have it now". It's not a good idea, it's bad design, it's takes out a lot of the fun. Can you imagine if praedyths ghost triggered the NTtE quest immediately? How much more exciting would it have been discovering all of it for the first time? Took out all the momentum, the excitement of a new discovery faded and by the time it finally came around yesterday it was just a case of "oh, so that's what that was. Neat." That's not the way to release exotics. It just makes obtaining them tedious.
