hate random armor drops by playing the Raid, everything else already have...
How can player wear what they want and still be level 30?
As it stands the only way to reach lvl 30 is to have 4 peices of armor with 30 light each. As exotics can reach 30 light the rest of the armor must be obtained through random armor drops by playing the Raid, everything else is worthless. I believe this is not the best way to reach lvl 30 because it completley ruins the entire armor system.
First, it makes every other legendary armor obsolete because regular armor caps at 27 light.
Playing on your lvl 30 and just got a sweet legendary drop? oh it's a legendary armor engram? No way it reloads auto rifles quicker? Well, dismantled.
Secondly, it prevents players from customizing their characters to their play style by making default characters with all the same armor perks.
Want your lvl 30 character to specialize in hand cannons by being able to reload them quicker and hold more ammo for them? Too bad you get to reload special weapons faster and hold more heavy ammo like everyone else!
And what happens when they raise the level cap? Will all the armor currently in the game become useless?
Well I might have a solution for that.
Bungie could add a random drop from the raid called a "VOG Seal" or something. What this does is you can apply it to any piece of legendary armor and it unlocks another progression sphere on that armor to be leveled up and increase it's light to 30.
Now any and all legendary armor is now useful.
Obviously there will be some limitations like, it can only be applied to a piece of armor once, cannot be applied to armor that already has a max light cap of 30, etc...
The same concept can be applied to the new raid and dlc coming out. With this I think everyone wins.
Players can use which armor they want but still be required to play the raids.
Problem: Raid Armor,
- Is the only way to reach lvl 30.
- Makes every other armor obsolete.
- Ruins character customization by having everyone be a default lvl 30 character.
Solution:
- Add a random drop for a "raid seal" which can be applied to any legendary armor to increase it's light
Thoughts?

I do agree with what you are saying, but here is the truth about level 30. It only serves to help you in the Raid on Hard mode. That's it. Most of the raid armor doesn't even look that good. Especially the Hunter's Grieves. Most of the raid armor only gives you perks for killing stuff found only in the raid (oracles and Praterians(sp?)). Most level 30s keep their raid set for the raid and use other stuff for everything else. I understand you want to hit the level cap, but it's not really that special. If Bungie implemented more stuff outside the raid for level 30s, than I would agree with you 100%. As for matchmaking, I wouldn't mind it because I play during the night and don't mind helping randoms through the raid. Before anyway says it, My Hunter will be level 30 after one or two upgrades to the Grieves. I know many high level players who can be level 30 when they want, but typically don't show it so random people don't spam them with invites.
