What's the point of playing solo content when the rewards don't match what you do?  Ultimate.  Clear the level with time to spare.  Eliminate everything.  Still no 5-Tier gear rewarded.  What a joke.

	Ultimate is hard at first, but no more hard than Grandmaster and Master were at first. As soon as your power level is on par with the activity, you won't even have to think about it. It's easier to get A-Tier now more than ever as well. Bungie changed it so added modifiers don't increase enemy power level. Aside from Ultimate Conquests, Ultimate Portal activities are no diferent from Grandmaster ones once you get to 500 power. Bungie also made the grind to 500 power 50x faster. I see you're at 470. So Ultimate is harder than not. Honestly, once you're 480, it's no more difficult than Legendary Kepler. You aren't far at all from easy Ultimate runs. Light tenacity will get you there in less than 2 hours if you grind.
