The Portal is not the same today as it was when Edge of Fate launched; the loot is better, the leveling is faster, the difficulty spikes are smoothed out. No, I'm not saying the Portal is perfect, I'm saying it's better than it was four months ago - and if someone hasn't played in four months, they may not know that.
Bungie is in kind of a spot, if people don't think the game has changed, that the sharp spots have been sanded down, they may be reluctant to come back and give the game another chance.
We know the changes because we're active players, we follow the TWIDs, we've seen the changes first hand, but not everybody has.
"[b]Faster Leveling[/b] - [i]Added in Patch 9.1.5.1[/i]"
"[b]More Loot[/b] - [i]Added in Patch 9.1.5[/i]"
(Something like that, but with correct patch numbers.)
An infographic or advertisement talking about the improvements that have been made may encourage players to give the game another shot. The TWID alone doesn't cut it.

The problem is that leveling is STILL the center of attention and 90+% of the game STILL isnt in the Portal, bottlenecking all meaningful/contributing content into the (nearly) same small offering since launch. Yes, leveling got better. But also, it's largely still pointless. 😁 Just saying.
