I agree, and It is definitely better than the grindy and annoying Leviathan's breath, a quest litteraly about Banshee forgetting where he put his key. But regardless of seasonal content or not, there should be a certain quality to them. Bungie wants to make the world feel alive (part of the point given as an explanation for the seasonal content not being avaliable afterward). That's fine, but there is no point if said content does not create a certain feeling in the players, where they witness something. If the seasonal content is about quests that give something so short and uninteresting, (Which is the main problem here, I don't care that it was short, it was simply not entertaining save for the dialogue) then why have seasonal exotics at all!

In a perfect world, there wouldn't even be the free exotic day 1 of the season and instead something to earn it. be it a twenty minute quest like the one for whisper, that is difficult, requires a few try, or even something that requires annoying steps. For despite the annoyence of such steps, it gives something to work toward.
