Imagine a large, wind swept, rainy, hill.
At the bottom sits a luxurious tent, with the sounds and smells of a great feast seeping out, and gilded flags with stylistic V's snapping in the wind.
Sited nearby are a series of less glamorous, but functional tents, with slightly bruised and battered explorers scurrying messages between them...albeit maybe less of them, and less often, than there should be. There is one torn flag, bent in the wind, a fist clutching a lightning bolt.
Atop the hill sits a massive pile of gold, which is just sitting there for emperors taking, and he really wants to take it! All that's needed is for those pesky explorers to form up, get themselves up the hill and bring the gold down! The emperor is generous - they can have a share of the gold and even some juicy meat and sweet mead...
The explorers also want their share of the gold, (sometimes they even enjoy the odd hill-walk!) but they are tired, and sore from their last expedition. They just need a little time to recover, repair their equipment, and at the very least waterproof their damn maps! (Side note: they have had trouble with their maps in the past!)
To make matters worse the pile of gold is visibly dwindling, nearby villagers and tribes keep plucking out some of the best trinkets. There are also rumours of a raiding party, led by one who calls himself "The Great Divisor" (He likes to capitalise Himself). They are quietly moving from cover to cover, and aiming to take as much gold as their backpacks will allow.

So if you made it this far without throwing your hands up in horror at the shlock writing...what will happen?
Money talks so I think Bungie are already a reasonable way up some sort of hill, and will be bringing back some pot of gold in Fall 2016 - the feast needs more mead! How far up the hill they can get will depend upon how much they want to re-invest in their pipeline tools versus crunching out content with what they have.
