Why do you need to be max light when you're a solo player. You aren't doing any activities that require high light lmao

FFS... [quote]Please dont make the climb to the Level Cap any harder.[/quote] It's [i]never[/i] been easier and more [i]meaningless[/i] than it is now. You barely have to play. And even if you do manage to lag behind, you're not really weaker. Because power has almost unnoticeable effect. [quote]These changes will do nothing but punish those of us who are incapable of spending hours upon hours on activities like the Raids and Trials.[/quote] No. These changes will [i]reward[/i] raids and trials players according to the involvement these activities require. You are [i]chosing [/i]to feel this as punishment, but you and the other egocentric solo players are just being envious. If you can't have something then nobody else should, right? [quote]We find pleasure in coming together for what little time we have to play Destiny and progress together and see that progress reflected in our Light Level. Seeing our level go up only by very small numbers after finishing activities that grant “Powerful Rewards” will feel frustrating and will not be fun for anyone stuck in the same situation.[/quote] That pleasure is not going away if you stop comparing yourself to others and begrudging them for every reason you can find. The milestone system will still be in effect. You will still be able to knock off your milestones in one short evening and leave with comfort in the knowledge that no one can get ahead of you no matter how long they play. The whole player base will "wait for you". Oh yes, except those elitist raids & trials players. [quote]I believe those of us who DO spend time on Raids and Trials and attempting to hit the highest score on Nightfalls should be greatly rewarded, but letting them get to the Level Cap way before those who dont have the time or the friends to play with is not a good way of doing so.[/quote] What? How do you propose to do that? By what magical process do you "greatly reward" raids & trials players without them getting more rewards than those who just play a few hours here and there and expect everyone to progress at the same rate? Draw me a picture of how we do that. [quote]Please consider a different way of rewarding the highly dedicated players that doesn’t involve placing Road Blocks bewtween the players and the Level Cap.[/quote] What way? What is not going to make you bitch about not getting it? We've already established that higher power loot is just going to make you all butthurt, so not that. Better loot in terms of perks? Surely not, because that's something you'll never be able to get without raids and trials, even when you catch up in power. Cosmetic shit then? That must be it! ----- It's high time for Bungie to [i]put an end to this naive social experiment[/i] and make it so we progress (however slowly) whenever we play, progress more if we play more, and progress faster if we play harder activities. That's how human nature expects it. You may not realize it, but you do too. What is proposed in this TWAB doesn't even go far enough.

The solution is simple: reward those who play the endgame content and make their progression faster. It only makes sense. Those who don’t complete Prestige Nightfall/Leviathan/EoW and Trials shouldn’t be on par with endgame players.

Yes, please let people continue to just spam patrol events for max light. It really makes sense for the game to never need to do the end-game and we can all just be "Legend" together equally with little to no teamwork, communication, or effort.

Sounds to me like you want smoke blown up your ass. You want "max" light, but you don't want to do the hardest, most demanding content.

If you're a solo player who doesn't do the raid, why do you need to be a higher might level? You don't. If you don't play the endgame, you don't need to be leveled for the endgame. It's that simple.

This game is not for casuals. Casuals should not have the resources to reach max level if they don't work for it. In D1 up till the first April update, the ONLY way to reach max level was to do Raids, Nightfalls and Iron Banner. NOTHING else would get you there.

Man, If Could get 20 man Mythic Raid gear or even normal 10 man raid gear In Wow as a solo player it would ruin the entire endgame it would make it pointless just like Destiny's endgame is currently., the more difficult the activity the more powerful gear you should get. I still don't think they are going far enough with the power changes, like it's still the same a dude rolling around doing milestones will become as powerful as someone who has completed Prestige Raids/Nightfall's just slower. They need to make endgame worth repeating, they need a Decent Gameplay loop, Power should mean power the higher it goes the more damage you do etc, and It should be very difficult to get to max power before the next DLC(expansion lol) drops. This may seem harsh but it's a loot game, difficulty should yield the most powerful items In the game.

Time for all the 'Lone Wolves" to find a different game to play. Destiny has always been more fun to play when in a fireteam. You play the way you want that's your decision. This change in progression(end-game to reach hard cap) is exactly what's needed to help get D2 back on track. Just like Yr1 D1. You wanna be Lvl 30? VOG was the way and getting the armor drop you wanted was tough. Many forever 29s as a result. I'm 100% okay with this.

[quote]Dont punish the Small Groups & Solo Players[/quote] I'm a solo player and I think it's way too easy right now to become max power. I don't Raid or do Trials and I'm perfectly fine with those who do receiving, no, earning better, higher power gear faster than me. Just like in D1 in the beginning, if you didn't run the Raids, you weren't getting the to the level cap.....period.
