Or they could just make more gear that gets you to max. I understand raids are the intended end game and hardest challenge, but doing so should reward you more based on unique weapons; armor meeting max level but used best only in raid scenarios. There should be rare versions of legendary engrams that contain more light obtained through strikes, chance to drop max light legendaries at a nightfall end roll, all IB gear should be to max level, and maybe even a way to upgrade bought vendor gear with more light. It would keep the entire game relevant, and everyone would get to look more unique. Cant tell you how many tines I want to sport the titan crucible chest piece with the fur neck but decide against it to keep my level up for nightfalls, ect.
