I actually don't have a problem with your thesis, but I differ in the opinion that this raid can be better the VoG and requires much more communication than the VoG .Can you provide examples where this raid requires more communication than VoG? It seems to me more of a Run and Gun raid than mapping out strategies. The VoG needed coordination at the confluxes, templar, gatekeepers and finally Atheon. The last two requiring the most communication since teams would need to coordinate with no line of sight to the other teams. in CE, the first part is basically just everyone run together and try to output as much DPS as possible. The bridge part is simply doing basically the same thing 6 times in a row. The witches are again DPS based... and Crota does require some communication but only as much as the Templar did in the VOG... there are basically only 2 objectives that require a little communication and really only 1 valid strategy to accomplish it (though you can use different tactics) and 1 activity that requires a moderate level of communication. Also, it feels like in CE the most people are in basically the same roles all the time. And in Crota himself, if you are not the swordbearer, you can actually feel like you are just present... not really participating. In the VoG it seemed like all the roles and responsibilities were somewhat unique, your strategies to accomplish each task could vary, and that each member was contributing. Also, I liked in VoG everyone was almost force to carry the relic due to random telaportation, so everyone needed a certain set of skills... here the only necessary skill you need is to own a gh or icebreaker (and yes I know, that is not a skill...)
