No. They need to make the raids part of the leveling process...you shouldn't be able to buy vendor gear higher than the applicable light of VOG. Players should have to play VOG to get high enough to go into Crota, to get high enough to go into POE 32, then 34, then 35. As you go you unlock each DLC's story mode and earn the gear to get you close enough to be able to go into the next raid. Right now there are year 2 players who have never set foot in VOG/DB/POE...and most of these(not all) are the players people keep complaining about on these forums about constantly dying in the raid...how to fix this, make them run the previous raids.

The only way the old raids should be relevant is for things like the No Time to Explain questline. Only 1 out of 6 players who have killed Oryx on NM have killed him on HM, so for most average players there is still plenty of progression available. Spending time retooling the progression system to benefit the minority of players who play often enough to want to run old raids for progression, which would delay meaningful new content for everyone, is bad design. It would split the community and make groups harder to find for most players.

If this ever happens i would like them to fix every cheese. No more sniping oracles or templar from up top. No more jumping on top of the map on the crota bridge or jumping across using a sword or bladedancer. No more standing on the window sill against Crota.

The weapons are pretty "meh" without the elemental burns

[b]320 Recommended Light Vault of Glass. I've got no idea why this isn't a thing, same for Crota's End. Such a waste that it's not possible and poor form on Bungie's part.[/b][spoiler]I'm not a Destiny basher btw, I love the game.[/spoiler]

Signed! 300 Light Recommended! Difficulty setting: [ Retro ] mode The loot isn't coming back but how about this for drops: [b]1st Drop[/b]: Materials (Location 1-10), Possible Strange Coins (1-10), Possible Motes of Light (1-5) and Possible Legendary weapon with random roll (300-310). [b]2nd Drop[/b]: Materials (Location 1-10), Possible Strange Coins (1-10), Possible Motes of Light (1-5), Possible Legendary Engram and Possible Legendary weapon with random roll (300-310). [b]3rd Drop[/b]: Materials (Location 1-10), Possible Strange Coins (1-10), Possible Motes of Light (1-5) and Possible Legendary Location Specific Weapon (ex: VoG, Imago Loop with outlaw and firefly) thus for VoG: Imago Loop, Treads Upon Stars etc... CE: Grasp of Malok, Darkblades Spite etc... (310-320). [b]Final Drop[/b]: Materials (Location 1-10), Possible Strange Coins (1-10), Possible Motes of Light (1-5) and *Possible Exotic Weapon or Gear random class (310-320) *One [b]OR[/b] the other, not both but 1:3 ratio (None/Legendary/Exotic)* Possible Legendary weapon with random roll (310-320)*, Random Selection Location shader, sparrow, ship and/or Location Legacy Exotic Raid Weapon (or required materials to obtain exotic "CE Crux of Crota or Husk of the Pit"). [b]Chests[/b]: Materials (Location 1-5), Possible Strange Coins (1-3), Possible Motes of Light (1-2), Random Standard Raid Gear or Weapons at Legacy Year 1 values (50% chance, collection purposes). [i]Exotic chest: Drop possible random exotic weapon year 2 versions (25% chance, only announced exotics, no year 2 Gallys sorry)[/i] [b]Challenge Modes[/b]: One boss a week for each raid, must defeat boss in specific manner. (ex: VoG, Bungie turns off bug fixes to raid so you can push Atheon off the edge, old-school method teaching for year 2 players). Sounds about right for a good old revamp of the raids. Gives them some use.

No

Please, I hate how once the taken king came out everything else was useless. I get it the bungie wanted everyone to have to grind again and get new guns and armor but that doesn't mean you have to ruin the point to hunt wolves or do PoE or Atheon or Crota. Why did bungie work so hard to get the raids up then practically delete them. I hate how the game actually felt like it was going to be a game you could play on for hour without always doing the same thing, then bungie just stared over. I liked the game where I didn't do the same thing every day for no real point at all. We do the daily for the marks, to buy what, nothing really, everything that is good everyone has. I had hope when I heard about the taken King, I thought that the world would be even better with more stuff to do and play, but now it is all gone. Now don't get me wrong, I love this game, but i am sad to say I will not buy the next dlc if bungie continues on this path:(

no bring new content / new raids. Shouldn't be too bloody hard to develop more content. Even a 30-60 minute lasting new raid will suffice. not just increase difficulty.

At the cost of $40, you can get all y1 raids and PoE at lvl 42. But you need to pay 200 silver for each attempt.
