Ok so I just seen this http://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming/leak-suggests-bungie-set-raise-destinys-level-cap-dark-dlc/#.VErRdteK5VE.facebook
Bungie for real? This is the best $500 million dollars can come up with? I'm not one to sit here and complain about how much content is going to be released, Or the lack of content and all that other crap. But you guys are seriously going down the wrong road when it comes to Level cap and Raiding. Raiding and getting max level should not even be in the same sentence. But with you guys I guess it has to be.
So according to this level cap will be increased to 32? Ok that's not a problem, But making us have to do raids to obtain that is the problem. Still here stuck at 29 on 3 characters, because I lack the luck to get my gear in the raid. You guys really need to change it, People are going to get sick of chasing Light Levels, Cause I know I'm about to give up on it. There is no content in this game that forces us to have max level, Its just a number. The gear is what matters to me and others. And that's what the raid should be focused on, Not light levels, But better stats and mods. We shouldn't be doing the raid to get max level, We should be doing the raid to get the best gear in the game that you can't buy or find in a chest/Engram. Raid gear should have stats that are far superior to anything we can get on the outside.
Not only would allowing players to reach level cap outside of raid gear make End Game better, But it would allow for gear diversity, Which this game doesn't really have. Right now its 3 pieces of raid and one Exotic, sure 80% of players at level 30 will all look the same.
You guys really need to look at other games in the MMO genre. I haven't played many, But none I have played had me doing End game to reach a max level. They had me busting my rear end, To get the best gear in the game. Always see people on these forums complaining that Exotics aren't so Exotic, Changing End Game would help. And it would give your game a longer life span. Cause I'm sorry to say once I hit level 30 I'll be done, But if I was doing End Game for better gear, Then this game would be worth sticking around for after reaching cap.
TL;DR
Bungie needs to rethink their End Game gear and make level cap obtainable through other means.

you know that only about 75 million of that went to actual development. the vast majority of it was advertisement. you should have seen the time square adverts. those cost a fortune themselves.
