If I'm 960 and I do a 750 activity, why is it possible for me to get slapped by bullet sponges that all but 2 shot me? They laugh at supers and it makes you wonder why even bother grinding to a higher power level if under leveled content is just as annoying as over leveled content. Proper MMOs have appropriate power scaling that make the grind and effort actually feel rewarding. In this game however, killing a boss 20 or more power my senior gives me weak blue level trash. While I can get two tapped by an enemy 200 power weaker than me. Fantastic formula you have there I must say.
Black Desert and even Neverwinter have far greater feeling of progression and reward for the grind it takes to become truly powerful. If I'm level 80 in neverwinter and I go visit a level 60 area for a quest or something, those enemies are instantly eviscerated whereas before fighting them alone used to be a struggle.
Power is supposed to matter in IB and Gambit, however as a 960 I can get 1 shot by a 916 but my scout rifle or handcannon cant 1 or 2 shot the 916 player where power matters. I lowered my power to 884 and was still able to wreck some faces in an IB match. But by all means please tell me that grinding to 960 was worth my time and effort.

Speaking of power level, if I have to go from 950 to 1350 or some sh!t next season and then a higher power after that I think I'm going to officially call it quits on this game. Chasing an arbitrary number has gotten mind numbingly boring and I don't want to keep infusing the gear with all the perks I've finally been able to equip. I don't want to run around with perkless blues and purples to get to a higher power anymore. I want to run the stuff I got now but I'll run out of materials from constantly buying upgrade modules and upgrading armor tiers in an attempt to keep my gear relevant during the power grind.
