Bungie/Vex have: -Made guardians incrementally weaker over time with constant nerfs to make us fear the darkness despite our actual might. -Work to divide and conquer guardians by impeding communication between them. "We won't find you friends but we'll find you enemies." Guardians have somehow managed to break through the simulation to find other guardians and to speak with them but many guardians are unable to do so and so major threats like Atheon, Crota, Skolas, and Oryx still threaten their timelines. -
