I don't know why they have random leveling at all. I think if my DM assigned us random XP at the end of a long multi-week campaign 25 years ago (I know, I'm old), I would have stabbed him. But sorry mate, I upvoted and it's still negative. For me it was just different in 2014, I know it was still RNG based but it wasn't as heavy. And you actually became more powerful, raids were easier once you hit 30/33/35. I'm just not digging the quarterly pinnacle grind that looks to be standard for the rest of the franchise. I'm burnt out, extremely. Especially since so much of it revolves around the same core activities we started with (plus gambit, which is the worst of all anyways). Beyond that, there's a new game on the near horizon that... well I know we've been here a dozen times before (seriously, I'm not blind to how many Destiny killers there have been that ended up scuking) but I agree with Paul Tassi that this one could be "the one." After being fooled so many times, I'm very cautious but the demo has me leaning towards agreeing with him.
