They aren't releasing the raid day one of the ttk. This forces us to level up normally then actually take on the end game activity, wait for it, in the endgame

This is a good thing. For everyone that was there at launch, do you not remember the race to the first VoG completion? It was a fun experience. Everyone getting geared up and ready for something that they JD no idea about. All the posts on the forums saying how far they are and tips and tricks. That moment when you think you just beat it first but you're barely halfway through! It was a hell of a good time, wasn't like that for the others as much. This will be good again. And let's face it, TTK is changing the game so much it's basically Destiny2.", so let's start it off fresh the right way
