Resets ARE time gating. That's the simplest way to explain it, so if you can't grasp that idk what to tell you. & what about iron banner/trials? They entirely disappear for periods of time & they were advertised. & what about hard raids? They were advertised & they didn't ship out when their respective dlc did.

I completely get what you're saying, but the difference is we were AWARE of this. We know that iron banner is sparatic, we knew upon the launch of the Taken King that the hard raid would not be available. We DIDN'T know that half of the exotic armors had been removed for an unspecified amount of time. There has been complete and total silence on Bungie's part. And yes, although the weekly reset is technically a time gate, it only accounts for rewards. You can play the nightfall after beating it for the week. Same with dailies, raids, strikes. This isn't just timegating of progression, it's the flat out removal of content, you see? We had no idea the content would be excluded and now we have no idea when it will be open to earn.

Yea I'm just saying be more patient. We know they're coming, so there's no point in upsetting yourself while you wait for it.

The point is to make people aware that this isn't an okay business practice. TIME GATING IS OKAY. This isn't. And although there's a very high chance of them coming, that isn't technically guaranteed.They haven't commented on the matter at all, you know. Might be in the next paid expansion (as happened with the FoaF/ JR and Vesta/Boolean).
