Example: On Christmas day, my friend (xbox gt: carrot4king) hadn't played the game in 2 months. He was a hunter level 22 with all blue armor and weapons. After the 3rd time dragging him through the weekly on low level and some random coin drops, he was able to buy the achlyophage symbiote from Xur. Leveling it and buying vanguard boots got him over 27 for the raid. We cheesed all but the deathsinger, and he got a cuirass drop. Now he's level 29 with blue gauntlets and only one legendary weapon. I don't think it was meant to be like this 😕.
