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?

The last 2 encounters on King's fall are the only places where being over 310 makes any difference. A few runs of hard mode, even without the challenges, will get you there. I fail to see the need to grind. Personally I like the infusion system. Not to mention that the only items that are tied to RNG since the challenges are Ghost shell and class item. Just do the challenge each week. Even with the worst rng ever you should be at least 318 after a few cycles.
