This is one aspect of the game I am completely over with. It's one thing to have a leveling system in any game, but in Destiny, it isn't a leveling system. We're not leveling up to become stronger. We're leveling up to reduce our weakness. Every area in Destiny has a bottom line, and we can never go above it. We can only be even with it. At the start of every expansion and season, we're put below this line, putting us at a disadvantage, and then we have to work back up to it. Another HUGE problem is that ALL of your gear is put below the line. It's not one thing to hit the power cap to finally be able to comfortably do a heroic lost sector. You need to make sure the loadout that you want is also up to that power cap. Maybe you forgot to upgrade Anarchy and you don't have any spare heavy weapons to infuse when you WANT to play the activity. It's a horrible feeling. Or maybe you have that creative loadout in mind, but it involves weapons or exotics you just haven't touched in a while, and now you have to farm around to get blues to infuse because you don't have any in that moment. It's just a waste of time. As it is currently, Destiny would be better off not having a leveling system. It honestly would. Just be a regular shooter with difficulty levels. The Presage mission was a great example of how this works. Everyone was above the recommended light, but yet it scaled to us regardless. What the flip? At that point, it's not power. It's just an arbitrary difficulty setting like "Normal." So, with that in mind, get rid of power, and every activity in the game is set to "Normal" difficulty. It allows players to only have to focus on loot, because power grinding sucks and is such a bad experience in this game.
