This is all true, but the grind itself has changed... or developed. Anyway, with the new quest system and guaranteed rewards for certain quests, strikes, etc. It's going to be a lot easier to find better gear. I've only played about 7-9 hours of TTK so far, and I'm at 220 light. (Or somewhere close to that.) I feel it's a much more direct loot system in certain aspects of the game now. (Do this, and I'll give you this.)
