The worst part is that this isn't even the first time Bungie messed up a quest like this, and after huge uproar from the playerbase, they promised to change how these kinds of quests work. Clearly Bungie lied and didn't actually change how they design these quests, or they've done the usual and repeated the same mistakes from yesteryear because they never learn from their mistakes and fundamentally don't seem to understand basic game design, nor do they actually test out their quest steps before implementing them.
