The Pointless Power Grind
What's the point in continuously repeating the same Portal Ops for light level increases when you have this 10/30/50 under enemy power on difficulties that always drags you to the same level anyway?
I like the portal. Its useful to a point but its soooo repetitive. But then so was anything before Edge of Fate, thats all destiny has become.
The increased difficulty levels on keplar are nice but being forced down to 50 under on mythic and dealing with bullet sponges is no ones idea of a good time.
Light level = player time investment
This needs to be respected far more or people will just give up on Destiny.
If i'm powerful let me feel powerful, this is a sci-fi shooter, not a dead end job, people play to have fun, and no ones having any as far as I can tell.
I guess it doesn't really matter so long as the studio head can buy a new classic car.

They only care about time engagement, they wanna slow players down and keep them slowly SLOWLY grinding power over next 6 months and then reset the Carrot on the stick that's on a treadmill next season.

The point is they want you to grind for Tier 5 Gear, which will make you more powerful and can slay out better even though the content is capped.

I’ve never understood the fear of over leveling content. If you put in the time you should be able to blitz most content barring GM modes and maybe master raids and dungeons. Though I still think master raids and dungeons should be leveled properly so they can’t be over leveled for a year, after which 🤷🏻♂️, go nuts.
