For the past several years we have been striding to get higher level and better gear so we can stand a fair chance against the activities presented in this game and to make it fun. Now with our power level being hard kneecapped to certain points in more rewarding activities it makes the pursuit of power pointless. We have strong gear, sure, but to get to that is an uphill battle that not everyone enjoys. At this point I'd rather have the matchgame modifier back than to constantly be below power recommended.
