The problem is that Bungie is giving away gear at the Tower at 280 light. They have been doing it since day one. Vanilla, you could get to lv29 [u]buying[/u] your armor, then 31 by buying it during TDB. HoW was worse as all you had to do was beat lv32 PoE once a week per character and you'd be lv34 with no Etheric Light needed in a month. In my opinion, Tower gear should be sold at a lower light level.

But with one piece of armor a month it'd take four months to complete the set which is why it should be at least 300.

But what is different between IB Control and normal Control other than level advantage? IB isn't a raid level activity bro...

Edited by Excardon: 10/15/2015 12:06:42 AMBut you can run the raid 16 times per character in the same amount of time it'd take to get all 4 IB items. In addition, once people get the hang of it more, you are only spending 1-3 hours per week to get 300+ gear. With IB, you need to spend more than 3 hours at least on your first character in order to get one piece of armor. I did the raid once which took 3 hours and got a 305 ghost, 305 Mark, and a 305 Auto Rifle (the rifle sucked so I infused it). At that rate, I can easily get all of my characters to 300+ way before 4 months (which would be what it'll take to cycle through all the IB armor gear). Also to my knowledge there are no IB ghosts or Artifacts either so really the raid is faster and easier to hit 300+ as it is. While it's not raid gear, the grinding and length of which to complete it is so much longer, it should be at 300. If they had all the armor and weapons available (like the other vendors) then yes, I do agree it'd be way too easy to play IB and rank up. However, since it's a limited one month event (even Trials is more consistent and available to the player being a weekly event) and is super limited when it comes to rewards made available for purchase; I feel it's ridiculous to expect people to spend their marks on something so low. Finally, like it or not, IB is basically made for people who have achieved max level through the end game so in actuality, it's more "end game" than the end game itself.
