They took it away due to an exp exploit in the mission. Maybe that should have been QA'd during two months of beta?
I heard it was because it was giving the raid if you asked nicely. In any case - can we get an ETA please?
It wasn't an exploit in the mission, he was giving the raid when he shouldn't be yet. Communication from Daybreak on why he was removed would go a long way though... just removing the mission NPC without saying why leads to multi forumquest madness posts.
