This is the first ever fps or mmo I've ever played, so it's all new to me. I'm in the 20 percent that does end game content, but I wish everyone had all the gear and weapons. If it was a sanctioned competitive game, I'd say sure, you need skill to reach the top. I raced pro motocross most my life, I understand rising through the ranks based on skill But this is a casual game and should have all activities at various difficulty levels, so people get the experience of the whole game, regardless of skill level But these are shoulda, coulda and woulda lol I also own and run my own business (a software company) and if I told 80 percent of my customers that they couldn't use top tier tools, well, I'd be out of business quick lol I'm not sure what demographic bungie is shooting for, but alienating 80 percent of your player base can't be good!
