The current paradigm is to push players into ever increasing levels of difficulty; The Sieve, our seasonal activity, can get pretty sweaty (I hate the sniper variation); Fireteam Ops are punishing at Master levels and above; there's not really a place for chill community play right now.
This isn't a problem per se, lots of people love hard modes, but some of us come to video games to chill out and relax. Having everything be sweaty takes something away from the chill factor; chill modes can be fun.
Dares of Eternity, just as an example, is not a very difficult activity, but it's fun.
Our old event activities, like Bonfire Bash, weren't difficult, but they were fun.
I'm not saying the activities need to be brain dead or anything like that, they can still be engaging, I'm just talking about a group play mode where people can go to unwind, just something less sweaty.
Edit: And there's no reason the chill mode can't have a hard mode option, too, something for the players who like the sweat, I just wish there was something for the rest of us.
Edit 2: Ten round Onslaught was chill.
Edit 3: Alternatively, add some chill activities to the portal. Dares, Blind Well, ten round Onslaught, the Neomuna one I can't remember name of, Sorrow's Harbor, stuff like that. I don't know, y'all have the repository of this stuff. But, uh, maybe update the loot pools, too.
Edit 4, loot: No, the loot doesn't have to be all Tier 5 god rolls, the activities could hand out Tier 2 and 3, with a small chance at Tier 4, and an infinitesimal chance at Tier 5. It wouldn't have to be top caliber stuff, top Tier, top light level, as long as it continued to provide some progression. It should have [b]good[/b] loot, of course, but no one is asking for an easy activity where Tier 5 loot rains like mana from heaven or anything.

Every planet desperately needs its very own unique open event such as: -Neomuna -Sorrow’s Harbor -The Blind Well No que’s. No matchmaking. No LFG. Just fun, engaging, planetary awesomeness. Dares of Eternity is also great. Maybe more unique 3 rounders hosted by the main storyline NPCs. It’s not only fun, but it’s a great way to run buildcrafts and compete in a non sweaty way with other guardians. Less rinse and repeat on level grind season madness and more gunplay, buildcraft, planets.
