There would be no scale, so what if you wear half 320 and half 302 you're still 320?

I was a little confusing I guess... I'm usually half asleep when I write these. There would be nothing in between the tens, so no 302. If you have half 300 and half 310, you become light level 305. Yeah... IDK what I'm talking about. I probably should have fully thought through this system before bringing it up, I liked the level system. 331 gear = level 32. A missing piece puts you at a power disadvantage. So I just think that the light level to player level system was cool and I scrub.

I can see what you mean but it would still do what it does now, it just has inbetween numbers but the balance is as you explained at this time
