Destiny 2’s raid releases have been on the second Saturday after the expansion’s release for five years now. 5 years is a long time to set precedent and then suddenly rip the rug out from people. Since this changes the player population for raids have increased, the numbers for contest mode attempts have increased, and the contest mode clears have increased. Bungie makes the claim that they want to inspire more people to attempt raids and the contest mode releases, and then implements decisions like this that fly in the face to those claims. This decision only negatively impacts TFS’s release & release hype. TFS’s raid should be released on Saturday, June 15th and run for 48hrs.
All numbers are sourced from raid report.
Prior to 2020 when all raids were released 3 days after the expansion :
Average contest mode raid attempts - 168,614.2
Average contest mode raid clears - 33,939
After 2020 when all raids were released on the 2nd Saturday after the expansion :
Average contest mode raid attempts - 377,851.5
Average contest mode raid clears - 47,432.3
The last raid prior to 2020’s release change = Garden of Salvation
Attempts = 116,783
Clears = 549
The last raid since 2020’s release change = Crota’s End
Attempts = 403,050
Clears = 19,362

Okay. How does that change the situation? Bungie drip feeds the story campaign over ten weeks most of the time. People that want to participate in the contest mode release just want seven days to allow for more people to properly prepare for the contest and be able to be on an even playing field with people that have to opportunity and means to grind the game for 72hrs straight. I mean, you have to think - historically most people won’t be able to even log into the game and will be sitting in queues for the first few days after launch due to server traffic. Easy answer to this to be fair to everyone is to either delay the release by 7 days - like it’s been set in precedent for the past 5 years - or put everyone at the same place in the contest mode regardless if you’ve been playing since June 4th or just installed TFS on the day the raid releases. ie: disable all new TFS gear, artifact mods, and have everyone be set to the floor power level of 1900. Just telling people to wait seven days and enjoy all the new content at their leisure and prep for an upcoming contest mode seems to be the better choice in terms of allowing new gear and builds to be used.
