This is gonna be a long post so please stick with me and don't vote till after reading it. Thank you. ^^Remember that video ? It looks like ever since then they gone back on alot that they said. But one thing that really bothers me is this: [quote]You can control how your guardians look[/quote] They said that but once you hit level 20,the way you want your character to look,is [b]COMPLETELY [/b] out of your control. Why? Its because of the light stat. You like that helmet that makes you look cool?well go -blam!- yourself. You gotta switch to this stupid one cause it has 1 more light stat. [b]LIGHT KILLS CUSTOMIZATION [/b] It honestly feels like they came up with this system 2 months before release,as a cheap way to prolong longitivity. Damn man! They didn't even take the time to give us more models!! The vanguard and crucible armors looks exactly the same! Dead orbits,fwc,and new monarchys armor all look the -blam-ing Same! Do all these factions get their armor from the same generic armor guy!? Whats a bigger slap in the face is that after you work for weeks to buy full legendary armor from the vendors and upgrade it fully,you still can't hit that elusive light level 30. And once you realize you need full raid gear to hit level 30,you're gonna flip out when you realize all your work to obtain all that gear from the vendors was in vain. So you gotta do the raid and hope it doesn't give you the same shotgun and scout rifle as a reward [b]3[/b] weeks in a row. You're probably gotta have to make two more characters of the same class and get them to level 26 to up your chances of getting raid gear. And since all raid gear is one model. Eventually everyone is gonna look the same. I guess this is bungie's idea of making our guardians feel unique. By making us one generic group of hunters, one generic group of warlocks,and one generic group of titans. You know whats funny? Bungie isn't the first one to implement a system like this. Lord of The Rings online had a similar system like this called "Radiance" and it functioned jusr like light. Now you may be thinking "well if LOTR online did this,then it must've been a great system for bungie to copy it in their game right?" [b]WRONG. [/b] http://i.massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/15/we-were-wrong-lotro-dev-explains-radiances-failure/ It failed because people were tired of looking the same like every one else. People got tired of tossing out their cool looking gear for ugly gear cause it had more radiance. Problems that the destiny community is facing right now. All in all light is a restrictive system that destroys customization and i would like to see it removed. It could be replaced with a transmuting system that lets us choose how our gear looks and what upgrades you want on it. I want to start a petition to get it removed and i would appreciate any support. I want real customization and for that to happen light has to go. Thank you for your time.

  • While I mostly agree, it would be easier to add transmog-like system. Removing light removes the reason to get better gear, which would make at least a portion of the playerbase leave from lack of significant reason to play anymore after hitting 20.
