First of all I would like to state I have been a part of the bungie community for over 6 years. You can look at my bungie profile. I'm level 28. Have done everything possible. Vault of glass, The weekly nightfalls. Strange coins. Upgrades. Basically only thing left that I needed to do was get ascendent shards to finish leveling my armor. I physically could not be online for 2 days. My friends were in the same boat as me level and armor wise. Except they got to dismantle the legendary gear earned from the queens bountys. And was able to gets massive amounts of ascendent shards. Making their level go way above mine. Now there is no way I can ever catch up at this rate because there is only a few ways to earn ascendent shards and basically they have patched the only way for me to have caught back up to their level. I would never turn my back to bungie. I was a dedicated member. But right now I am not the biggest fan. And until they fix their mistakes with this patch I will not play this game.

Why all this RACE to get higher level, better gear, catch up to your friends? PLAY the game, have fun, Strike, Patrol, forge fire in the Crucible. You'll get your stuff you'll level up to attack greater challenges AND you'll have fun doing it! The game's two weeks old - [b]two weeks[/b]!!

Lol agreed. Its like holy crap the game just cam out why do you want to have pretty much "beat" the game already. Part of the fun is getting to the destination not actually being there.
