The Factions have no rank display, which led me to believe that there was no rank-up system in place. However, just between the Crucible, Vanguard, and Gunsmith I have 3 different engram levels, 297, 298, and 299 respectively. This is with me in the Tower not changing any gear around. Can someone explain why this is happening?
Also, sub-300 "Powerful Gear" drops shouldn't happen for 304-5 characters.

It's a visual bug, if you're 305 all gear from factions will drop at 296. My gunsmith says 299 Light for the faction rank up, but it still rewards 296 gear. All my other factions display properly at 296. Also, the reason why powerful gear is locked at 300 is because that is the current Light(Power) level cap.
