I’m a “casual”. I just hit 500 for my Warlock (main) and my Hunter. The power “grind” is just a mechanic to keep you engaged and moderately excited about new loot. I guess once you hit 550 the same gun you already have with all 50 rolls possible becomes less exciting always dropping at your power level. I think Bungie has forgotten that the best thing they have done (IMO) in recent years was when they just said “**** it” here’s all these dungeons with explore mode and match made and here’s all this gear you lone players never got. Everyone was pretty much max light level at that point cos the season had gone on forever (all three of mine were) and I could play with whatever character I wanted and try loads of different builds and weapons with lots to do. It was the most fun I’d had in PVE for years. I’d been almost exclusively a PvP player before that. For me the single biggest thing Bungie could do would be to give the option to match make or not (I’d like to do a Nightfall on my own without upping the difficulty beyond my skill set for example). And yes, some will say use fireteam finder. And a lot of lone players will say no thanks, why can’t you just make stuff match made at higher level (Or not match made at lower level)?
