  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] red30 And how, exactly, was resetting the levels supposed to LEVEL the playing field? That's illogical. It has once again UNEVENED the playing field by matching better players against weaker ones. Not to mention made it unfun. Unfun + frustrating = bad for something I pay money for...[/quote] Give it some time! After a week or so (maybe sooner), the players that are better than you will have moved on to higher levels. The point of the update, from my understanding, was to change the way you earn experience. I think Bungie was finding there were too many players grouped together in the middle levels, with not enough differentiation considering the players' respective ability to play the game. So, you gain XP quicker now, with the intention that you wont find as many 'bottlenecks' of players, in effect spreading everyone out more. So, from now on, when you're playing against another level 10 player, he will be much closer to your skill level than in the previous ranking system.
