So if carpet muncher Maya has the Echo of Command and can comepl something as powerful as a member of The Nine why doesn't she do things like...

>Capture and compel a ghost to give a Vex unit the Light
>Compel the Traveller to revive the people that died in the collapse or recreate golden age Earth

Instead she is rummaging around in The Plaguelands in Rasputin's dusty old cupboard for some warsats or something.

>want to add a new system that helps highlight relevant activities to new and existing players
>D1 has a quick bar that highlights relevant activities
>Instead of using that waste tons of development time on another full menu chock full of submenus that do very little to help discern relevant content

Bravo Bungie. Guess the quick bar on the director is just lost technology.

>expansions are selling less and less each year
>want to "free up development effort" from expansions
>swap to doing 2 "RoI sized" expansions each year instead
>this is supposedly more expansion content than they've ever done before completely contradicting the freeing up development effort

Like what was the thought process behind this?
