Level 40, several times over, floating between 305 and 290 depending on which lesser piece of gear I have to equip for a needed result. I'm not now and won't be a world class competitor in any PVP stuff with 2 left hands. Been very loyal to Destiny since early Xbox 360 days and now 2 years into my Xbox One experiment yet the best I can do is resort to grinding away in solo stuff.
I'm very well experienced with seeing firsthand many of the marketing ploys of Bungie and watch many unfold right in front of me. That is not an issue with me. Bungie is in it for the money and more power to them. I just hate it when stuff happens that impedes my gaming efforts and I can't afford to just pay and go around it.
I finally have been able to get a few Exotics dropped here and there and have obtained two that I really like and want to use. The Empyrean Bellicose helmet and the Crest of Alpha Lupi chest armor. Bungie, the program code for such stuff, poor programming capabilities, mean writers at Bungie - whatever, say it in a not at all welcome scroll bottom of screen when more than 1 Exotic is attempted to be equipped, "I cannot equip more than one piece of exotic at a time." Why? I'll bet the answer will amaze me.
This is but a small portion of this one topic. I'll stop here and start other topics for the long list I have compiled with gripes galore. Total frustration is knocking at the door and any of my dozen or so other FPS games seem more inviting every day. I won't get a useful answer to any of them because Bungie could care less about one old Vietnam Vet alone in the world bangin away at a video game, sounds stupid just reading it back to myself. I'm right ain't I?
