The max level is 32, if you buy your way there you're still gonna get wrecked in the crucible by a level 3. I really dont see how it will ruin the game. I will use a white auto rifle and shit on the vex mythocast. Truthfully I stopped playing destiny for a whole month until the update came out, this was because I was tired of grinding to get stuff I already had or didn't need. If I could trade I would play the game more.
