Probably the fact that there are more end game things to do now, as opposed to back in the day when Hami and Mothership raids were it.
I remember when there weren't mothership raids and hami scouts hung out on the saferock waiting to announce hami's appearance and then we'd raid 2-3 times a day.

Sadly, yes I do..And what was funny was- the people who helped cause it, never seemed to think they were responsible for it.

Yellow death was a good waste of runs I remember getting run over a lot

Even though i do attempt to participate when a hami raid is announced, i feel i don't get to contribute nearly as much as i used to.
I know a lot of players that won't even show due to the following:
lag
disconnects & mapservers
memory leak bug
I would love to be able to play through a hami, or even a mothership raid at normal speed, but when i do manage to not get booted its still a slideshow on the servers end with everything showing 'recharging' on the power trays.
Does turning graphics help?
Once I shut off ultra mode I found a lotless lag

turning graphics way down does help, also, in the attack hami phase, people would zoom in to look at the ground so nothing else would affect their visual graphics.

I hear turning off powers till ready to go helps but who knows
as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.
I haven't run in ultra in a very long time, turning graphics down does help your personal framerate, but the true problem is the server can't handle it.
When the powers in the tray keep saying 'recharging' when they have long been recharged, is the server not keeping up with the information.
I don't know if its still around, & don't feel like looking for it, but if you'd like to see a hami raid at what should be full actual speed Xeaons aniversary for global co. was recorded(evac-less100% push).
If you weren't there back then, we all had heavies, shivans & warburg nukes. In real time the fight took near 15 minutes, the recording showed around five. That was pre-lore, destiny, & other lag heavy additions.
so keep it short is key

the last raid I did was before they limited the zone to a certain number of people. nothing like near 200 people raidina a hami with their powers going. now THAT'S lag!!

50 is same lag but with 50 ppl waiting outside to get in

Seems like in past years hami would have been done everyday in virtue on summer break this year what has taken its spot?
I see less and less hami announced raids
