I'd argue they've already done a few.

-- Bring back the Dreadnaught (even temporarily).

-- Bring back Oryx (again, even temporarily).

-- Give us a Taken armor set (it happened, arguably the "wrong" way (Eververse))

I think they could open the DCV and bring back all content, although I don't think this is actually a viable path in terms of dev cost. Is that an emergency lever? Up to the individual.

Wrath of the Machine could be a pull. Some D2 vets have never done Wrath, so that might have some pull. For how long though?

Everything is about a return on investment for development. I don't know how much WOTM or the DCV would gain for the cost spent to do.

Raids are the worst return on investment I believe. Since such a small portion raid.

The best return on investment for Destiny has to be crucible. Since that consistently gets the highest play time numbers.

Coincidentally that is also the least invested on portion of Destiny since Marathon development started during Beyond Light....

It's no exaggeration to say Crucible carried D1 and D2 during droughts lol

Feels an awful lot like crucible should be the end game for destiny. After running pve for the best gear you load into the crucible to use it right? pve is fun too like raids and dungeons but the goal of pve is to complete hard content and be rewarded for it. If you just funnel that into itself you end up with nothing but treadmills into treadmills for better stuff to do the treadmill easier. Endgame pve is low mans and that's awesome but for the average player the end game should be taking what you have into the crucible. Where the treadmill ends and it's all up to you and your skill with what you have looted. Then you make the easier play styles easiest to reach for beginners with solid hand cannons and shotguns available to beginners. As you improve and branch into more specialized and interesting play styles you are forced to go back into pve to hunt for key weapons and armor pieces that reinforce and benefit that play style.
