Levels make a 10% difference in damage, correct? Per shot? They should sell vanguard and crucible gear that gets you close to raid gear. That one level for raid gear is a HUGE difference. If the don't players who don't raid will be stuck at 31 and will be so far behind for house of wolves. It also lets players who do raid and have tons of energies, commendations, etc in their inventory immediately have a leg up on the new raids. This is important, because all I ever read about is how glitched they are from the start. A 32 player right now is way better than my 31. So don't worry about it. Raiders will always do better than non-raiders.
