Raids basically turned into more of a marketing campaign with Worlds First than anything else. Worlds First is the only time you will see Destiny crack the top 100 in Twitch streaming. I wish they would move away from raids or scale them way back to 3 player activities. Ive done almost all the raids at least once and a few that I liked multiple times for quests and certain weapons. All in all, they are meh. It’s basically sitting with 5 other people trying to make small talk pretending you’re having a good time just to get loot or finish a quest. Unless you truly have 5 real friends playing Destiny, which 99% of us don’t, raids kinda suck. I wish they’d take that time and energy and put it towards something else. Less than 5% of people have ever done more than 1 raid. That’s a lot of time to waste for such a small amount of people, but I think the exposure of Worlds First for the game — because hundreds of thousands of people watch — is what raids are now built for. It’s Bungie hoping that people will stumble across them, see the big commotion, and then get sucked into the game before they know all of what you need to even participate in them or other aspects of the game.
