Glad you posted this as I was going to. Can't deny that whilst I love this game for the fact you can play with so many people as we all generally like this game, the endgame activities currently are concerning me bugstyle.
I keep on thinking its alright, mainly because I have feel I'm in that top 2% of people that are playing this game regularly (well, not really as I haven't beat Calus yet )
Bob put it perfectly the other day when mentioning Strikes have zero point to them. I'll play them for 'fun' but the D1 grind, whilst slow, made these types of things relevant.
If Datto is correct I'm not too far away from 305. For me, its just lacking a sense of clear goals and objectives for you to work towards.
With all of the stuff he mentions that isn't here, I think it has been replaced with Clan objectives as the key goals. It makes you think about everyone elses objectives and activities to complete for them and not just yourself.
My thoughts are the stuff he mentions, which was vanilla in Destiny, will be regularly rolled out so that we get that feel of valuable content being released, whereas most people's views will be they should've had it from launch.
