Honestly, power level as it stands now is a very arbitrary level gating mechanic that keeps players like me from engaging with the game. Instead of collecting gear with better power level but worse stats, why not allow us to increase power level by increasing the stats on our gear? We use enhancement cores/prisms/ shards to increase the gameplay aspects of our armor to make it better. Why can't that apply to the power level as well? Especially due to how hard it is to find a good piece of armor to invest resources into in the first place. And how hard it is to invest if you don't farm nightfalls all the time for high-tier resources. Also, when we recall exotics from our collections, why is the light level at 1050? Why not at our current highest gear piece light level? Now we have to upgrade the piece depending on the activity. And that costs an upgrade module. A resource not easy to come by and not cheap. All of these systems along with poorly executed sunsetting (notice I said "poorly executed" sunsetting, not sunsetting itself) are just discouraging players from playing the game. Instead of saying "oh I need to farm upgrade modules" I basically almost give up entirely and go play crucible, or just plain turn the game off. (And before anyone says filthy casual. I've played plenty of other games that have similar concepts to leveling, but they are done in much more intuitive ways. They don't force you to engage with content you don't want to engage with. They don't force you to play with others if you can't find a team. They adjust in game difficulty based on if you are playing with others or playing by yourself, and leveling up your gear makes it stronger from a gameplay aspect, which is what matters most, not just an arbitrary level aspect.) Maybe these aren't the ideas you want to use. That's fine. I just think power leveling needs an overhaul in general. If there are better ideas, this game would surely benefit from them.
