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.
