Agree and disagree. Leveling was way too easy and boring before. I've been all 335 with my entire vault st 335 for 5 months. Zzzzzzzz. I'll be happy if I can't max out the new power in 2 weeks.

Im not disputing it will add more playtime and goals etc but I have an issue with this being a cheap alternative to actual content, which would do the same thing. Compare the story, and side quests for gear, in Borderlands 2 to D2, and one of them is years old. In one you level from doing quests/story and in the other you do the story in no time, then depend on the drop frequency of gear to level up. This is like a tap that Bungie can turn on or off, to suit who they want to appeal too. In D1 they made it easier towards the end to allow the more casual fan base to enjoy feeling powerful and the chance to enter and take part in all the activities. D2 took leveling to extremes. Log in, do anything, level up. It just seems like Bungie and the fans built Destinys identity, then they turned the tap on full to get all the casuals they could. Big mistake imo I thought D2 would add exotic quests and more content for xp, like Borderlands 2, instead they put more eggs into the 'we will just control how fast they level doing the same shit over and over to get engrams' basket. D3 will show how sorry Bungie are for D2. Deadlines mean its full steam ahead for D3, and the shit storm of nearly imploding the franchise will show that D3 plays nothing like D2, and it will include nearly none of its mechanics/changes.
