So I've had time to think about this, and I think the lack of a raid is NOT the worst thing to happen.
I want to give Bungie the benefit of the doubt and say they want another VoG and not another CE. VoG was fun, it was intricate. It had more than shooting and hiding. Each encounter was unique, with a different aspect to what needs to happen. Oracles, portals, legions. It has great back story, it was led into nicely through the game's minimal story.
Crota's End was... boring. Shoot something. Run and shoot. Run and shoot more. Run and shoot that shrieker. Run and shoot the Swordbearer. Run and shoot the ogre. Run and shoot the thralls. Run and shoot. Too hard? Cheese it. Things going smoothly? Sword disappeared.
And the flak they did get for this. It's ongoing to this day. Instead of dumping this next raid out with the exact same issues, they have hopefully realized this will impact the game far more negatively than delaying the next raid's release.
Instead, give us a change up. Give us something we may not have expected. A horde mode with a unique twist? K, ####in' A.
Downside to this is we will likely be paying another $30 - $60 for the next Raid. But deal with that bone when it comes up.
