This is a message from the player base to Bungie. They want to play the new content when it comes out. They want to play the dungeon and heroic Contact. That requires a higher light level. Can you really blame them for not wanting do the same old boring dull grind that we've done for YEARS? I sure don't.
It's a mistake to gate new content, like the dungeon, behind power levels. Power progression is not interesting and it's NOT rewarding. Long time players get no satisfaction at all from leveling up. It's a chore, not a feature.
When a new season opens up, the last thing I want to do is play Gambit, Flashpoints, and any of the usual suspects that I had done forever to level up.

I have no interest in playing the same stuff I’ve been playing for years to get high enough to do new stuff. If it wasn’t for the forges, I honestly wouldn’t even be playing at all now. It’s just not worth my time to do weeks of monotonous grind to try a small amount of new stuff. And bloody hell, can we stop this boring ‘upgrade’ system every season? I did the sundial stuff and then completely skipped last season because I wasn’t doing that boring warmind upgrade. Have no interest in doing it this season either. Yawnfest. **Edit ** Well, they stopped the forges. I’ll help my friend who still plays run Pit of Hersey once a week and that’s it. I’m done.
