I partially disagree on them being removed from Pinnacle Ops, because I do think they are technically considered Pinnacle, in the sense they are a endgame activity, and most pinnacle content is to give you challenging content for advancing loot. I think Bungie wants to shift the idea of Pinnacle being the activities you level in, and be more like content that you do when you want a greater boost in power, or for a chance at receiving a more exotic or challenging reward. Though I will say I would not mind to see them moved to a separate section within the Portal, it really doesn't make much of a difference.

Oh boy... I want dungeons out of the portal entirely lol. I'm trying to think from the perspective of a new or returning player. They launch into a dungeon lair with champions, limited revives & a time limit... and then end up thinking ALL dungeons are that way, making them even less approachable for an average player. And you dont even get exotics from dungeons lairs. It makes no sense that some pinnacle missions give exotics, and some dont. It also makes no sense that some missions will match-make & some wont, even tho they're in the same category. I dont even see the need for a "Pinnacle" category, when every activity in the portal is grading you to drop loot ABOVE your power level. The entire portal is basically "Pinnacle" now. I dont hate the portal itself, I just think its disorganized & not cohesive. To me, there should be distinct categories with distinct functions : -- an Exotic missions category with nothing but exotic missions that can ALL be match-made, not just some, or customized for solo/fireteam -- a Solo category that's nothing but lost sectors, no fireteam, no match-making -- a 3-player Vanguard category with strikes, empire hunts, expeditions, etc that can ALL be match-made, not just some, or customized for solo/fireteam -- a PvP category for the various PvP modes -- an Arena category for the activities with 4 or more players, like Dares, WellSpring, Astral, dare I say Gambit... ALL match-made -- Dungeons are entirely their own thing, with unique emblems, titles, etc that you dont get from Portal ops. I dont mind if they get Explorer mode back, but take them out of the portal ! lol
