The only purpose for this level system is to increase the grind and have people play more. I prefer a regular level system over something that make me play certain activities to get to the max level (which doesn't even matter). The fact that RNG decides what level I am is absolutely stupid. The amount of ignorance put into this level system is beyond shocking. What are your thoughts on infusion?
Edit: An article from Forbes on infusion:

Edit 2: Anyone else on board with a leveling system that is based around character experience, and not your gear?

Etheric light was the best way to go, made all raid and endgame gear in PVE and PVP relevant, infusion just adds RNG to RNG, RNG was bad enough already without more of it in. The best thing they could have done with etheric light would have been to allow etheric light to add a certain level of light to your piece of armour, like 5 light or something. At least that way it would have had a use, instead of just giving it as rep for nothing but year 1 content that they left behind that no one can use now.
