I'm level 25 and have been running daily strikes for the last two and a half days alternating between the 24 and 26-level lists. (Mainly because fighting +1 level enemies is absurdly unfun.) I have the most light-granting blue gear possible and have not, in hundreds of loot drops, found better pieces. The only way forward seems to be through farming or praying to Peter Dinklage for a random Legendary drop. So my question is as follows: Is this the intended Destiny experience, or am I missing something? I bought both of the DLC packages and can't even see the later levels of the Dark Below because it's a higher level than I can complete. I realized I have just enough Vanguard Marks to buy a piece of gear, but I apparently need to grind out my reputation to open it for purchase. Please tell me this isn't how the game is supposed to be played. Please.
