Remember, Guardians: Luke Smith and Mark Noseworthy said out loud in an interview that this game is no longer for "Johnny Two Sticks from Walmart" - i.e. anyone who is not a hardcore player that doesn't live in this game.

You want the gear, slog away. They're not making this game for the majority of their playerbase anymore. And, if you're not no-lifing this game, you're "Johnny Two Sticks from Walmart", the "lowest common denominator" (also direct quote from the interview).
That's what Bungie thinks of your feedback on this issue.
