I'm a Conquerer, the Psiops Moon GM difficulty was a bit overtuned
I tried lots of times to complete GM Psiops Battlegrounds: Moon last week for the Breytech Osprey Adept, but ended up failing for a variety of reasons.
I am a Conquerer, maybe even guilded it once or twice, and I completed every single GM micless with a random LFG team. That's because I have a wife and 2 kids, and I can only play when they are all asleep. Talking in a mic would wake them up. For that reason, I rarely complete raids and dungeons. Despite this, most GMs are manageable.
Psiops was not very manageable, mostly because of the boss room. My random teams couldn't find a safe spot. That room on the left is not a safe spot. The boss used its arc super, which went through the ceiling and got all of us. The infinitely respawning enemies who can go anywhere, having 2 Savathuns chasing you around who one shot you over and over. This creates a situation where you almost certainly have to be micced up and use raid-like coordination and strategy, which is not possible in my circumstances.
Compare that to yesterday's featured GM, Devil's Lair. Each encounter has crap-tons of enemies and Champions, but once you kill them, they stay gone. Also, each area has one guaranteed safe spot. I completed it on my first and only attempt last night after the July 4th festivities were over. I had the most kills and least amount of deaths, using the same loadout as I had been all last week.
Another reason was that I use Bungie.net as my LFG, and this website is very glitchy. Showing and refreshing available fireteams is slow and unresponsive. Some teams that closed 10 minutes ago are still in the active feed. Also, the website kept glitching out and claiming that I had no characters who had completed the New Light quest or reached the tower. Let me tell you, my Guardians originated in 2014 in D1's tower, long before the New Light quest even existed, and my Warlock main is max level. Glitches with LFG are frustrating, which severely limited the number of attempts throughout the week.
A summary of my feedback is that Bungie might want to consider making another difficulty pass on this GM, and try to hammer out some glitchiness on this website. That is all. Have a good day, Guardians.

A major mistake with the Heist and psiop missions being made GMs is that they haven’t had the time in the vanguard playlist to get data on which ones to make GMs or how to do it by getting player feedback. Like the mars heist is probably the worst one to make a GM and they did it the same season the heists were added to the vanguard playlist. I don’t know why they didn’t adapt the battlegrounds, which had been in the vanguard ops for a year, first as it’s easier to tell which ones were GM workable or not.
