Light Level, Equipped Light Level, and drops
Now that we're back to the festival of the lost, with masks that severely drop light level - we return to the really poor decision on Bungie that the light level drops that you get are not tied to your maximum possible light level - but your equipped light level.
This is really a poor design choice. Extra Credits called Bungie out on this very issue on an episode. 3rd party apps know what the maximum light level is. It's not a hard thing to have in the game.
It's a shame that a fun thing like the Festival of the Lost creates this punishing effect by having item drops be influenced because we're wearing masks. That shouldn't be the way the drops works. It's sad that load outs have to be adjusted to be what is the highest light level and not what you want to run. It's sad that this is still how the game works, when this exact issue is pretty much solved.

No one is forcing you to put one on, there is no gun to the back of your head, no family member will be dismembered or killed if you don't put it on. And if you do wear it? God forbid if for one match or one strike you don't have your highest light possible. Seriously, two one-off activities is all you have to go through, and even then, for the crucible portion, you can take the mask off the moment you get your kills done, so you can still be max light by the end. And for the strike, you can put your normal helmet back on if you want to open the strike chest with a key, there is plenty of time to do so. Or does logic and thinking hurt you?
