Do you think there is a definitive reason why the game is less populated than before?
I think it's because we don't raid anymore.
Why don't we raid?
I think the reason is simple, we just don't like hanging around with strangers, especially when some of them struggle in the parts of the game that most of us take for granted and do with ease.
We don't like a mismatch of interest and experience in the game. We would raid if all 6 people had the same experience and knowledge in Destiny. But that has become a relic of the past, a unicorn, or simply a dream that we will never see become true, no matter what they do.

the main reasons we have less player in the raids is that the community is going back mentally to the toddler stage cuz they are calling doing 1+1+1+1 impossible for basic players, and the other big problem is that a lot of guns inside the raids are not the top options.
