what do you mean "more avenues for solo players to reach ultimate level cap other than the raid"hmmm ......lets think of all the things that drop max gear. regular crucible,iron banner,trials of osiris,strike hoard chests,archons forge,exotic engrams,nightfalls and shaxx weekly bounties. I dont think i forgot any but i may have. So basically almost everything in this game now drops max level gear except regular story missions. If you cant get to max level its your fault notbungies.
