This needs to be broadcasted on every medium out there. This is abusive to artificially extend the "playability" if the game by leaving the most dedicated players for time invested in total limbo. There is another massive lurking problem with this design and that is players have BULL CRAP ANTENNAE and can pick up this kind of manipulation in the long run. In the long run players who know the quantity of grinding required to play at the endgame level just won't put up with it before very long. I'm at the point of apathy towards progression and this is scary for bungie coming from a fan who has played constantly since the beta. I'm seriously asking myself if I would grind again knowing how much i had to put in to get what I have and the answer isn't good for Bungie The Scrooge miser approach will be a downfall item for them over the course of the year as this keeps up and from history shown will increase even more.
