it should be on regardless of game mode. people who grind their ass off to be high light should no matter what be able to slaughter low light shits. pvp shouldn't be the only thing you -blam!-ing play. go run a -blam!-ing strike and get your damn light up. don't -blam!-ing complain when a high light guy beats your little virgin brain in when your 997 light and hes 1058. he obviously cares about the game more than you so why shouldn't he be able to pummel you to nothing? in a game with random rolled weapon there isn't a skill gap. its the weapons you use have a skill rating not you. mountaintop is a top 0.01% weapon, your not a top 0.01% player. its the weapons you use that make the player good. don't like it go play a different game and leave destiny alone

Light level is not enabled in regular crucible. Light level being enabled for trials and iron banner is meant to be a barrier against f2p players going in with burner accounts and cheating in the competitive game types. Once you are max power level, those modes become just like regular modes but sweatier.
