You have to take into account some people use strikes to lvl gear, so let's say my stats are all screwy it might be because I'm lvling different pieces of armor for another tier build. It's smarter to have multiple pieces of armor with different stats to change your tiers on the fly.

Here's the thing ... I never use activities to level gear. It takes so godforsaken long. I used Notes to level gear I want to use.

Motes take longer on armor than its counterparts (weapons) realistically bounties lvl armor the fastest which is best done during patrol or strikes more so strike cause you get xp for completion. Motes are better used on weapons with a synth or lvling a faction. That's my opinion though not saying you're wrong or anything but I'd rather give them to my faction with heavy I bought from the reef on the low.

I too use motes. I play Crucible for usually 6-8 hours a night. With that much play, I end up with tons of Motes and Strange Coins. For the past year or so, I haven't had to use bounties or activities at all to level my gear up, which is nice. To be honest, I don't know if Motes were able to level up gear in Year 1, but if they did, I really wish I had known about it. I spent so much time in strikes and patrol during Year 1, to level up gear. Most of that time goes into the pursuit of new loot now, instead of leveling up what I've got. I didn't start using Motes until about the time TTK came out. Ugh.

Edited by FrenetiCreature: 10/23/2016 6:14:03 AMOh, I totally understand that. I do the same thing. I have multiple sets for each class/subclass. Sometimes though, they're fully leveled, gear and all, and they're still a mess. I'm not b!tching about it really. I just honestly feel like some people just don't know much about it. So I thought I'd say something on here, that way someone who didn't, reads it, will now.

Problem is you have people who take their tiers and roles in a group seriously and people who just play to wind down their day. I completely see where you're coming from and I understand you aren't complaining. It's very strange to have a conversation on here and it not turn into a argument lol but you probably already know this. It comes down to the same thing in every game and it's usually more than just stats, raiding with people that expect you to carry them while they have shitty tiers,stats, and gear is mind boggling.
