The casual player has no reason to play Destiny anymore. By creating "The Final Shape" based on YouTube streamers complaining nothing is hard enough, Bungi has taken away the reward system for the bulk of their community, who do not play 8 hours a day.

Haven’t played now in over a month. At this point I’m not sure what they could do to bait the hook and bring me back! Here’s some suggestions for you bungie if you are listening (although with the player engagement team dismissed I highly doubt it). Bring back strike specific loot with low drop chance unique items themed around that strikes boss (as per D1) Remove battlegrounds from strike playlist and replace with legacy strikes like Archon priest etc. Reintroduce presently unobtainable ornaments and armor sets and gave us unique ways to earn them - I.e trials of the nine ornaments, crown of sorrows raid set, scourge of the past, etc. Give us some amazing looking armor sets like Age of triumphs from D1 - the VoG set was one of my particular faves. Restore some sense of power fantasy to the game. Make our exotic loot meaningful - I have a vault full of items that have been nerfed into non existence at this point. Lastly I would suggest you need to stop listening to the top 10% of the playerbase and cast your net wider for inspiration. If making changes that make the game easier for the PC warriors but benefit for the greater good go for it - after all what have you got to lose at this point??
