So I shouldn't want to reach top level, just because the solo activities don't have it as a requirement?... I'm going to leave you to that state of mind And I'd actually rather that? It used to be where I could just come on for half an hour, get my ascendants, and go. And then if I got a legendary piece of gear, or if I did the Raid or got a bit lucky on the Nightfall, then I'd have even [i]more[/i] ascendants. I could work toward maxing out my gear at a comfortable pace to fit around my lifestyle. Now it's 'oh you want to reach the level-cap that we've moved yet again? Well f*ck all of those materials you previously grinded for, they're now [b]completely[/b] obsolete. Yet again we've thrown in a new material and said 'there we go, grind for that now'... Well? Crack on?' Now if I want to get [b]1[/b] Etheric Light, I have to set aside the best part of two hours or so. Great. Thanks. Glad you did that Bungie
