Well written and well sad. I completely disagree with people saying Menagerie is dead. I've played 4-5 runs this past week, no problem with match making, was able to get some power drops and have a good time.
But I do agree that the activity, isn't nearly as farm able now. But that isn't a knock on menagerie, that applies to the game in general. No other activity offers as much replay variety and such a consistent farm.
Farming a nightfall for a drop takes about the same amount of time, and there is no guarantee to the drop. Black Armory forges almost take longer, with all the hopping around prep work and they can't guarantee armor or masterwork stats.
I hope that Bungie takes the principles of menagerie and applies them more moving forward.

I did 5 runs this week. Two I loaded into were empty instances. Prior to this week I had 43 runs through Menagerie, I never once loaded into an empty instance in that time.
