Idk man, the Division has it nailed down well. You really do feel your power in that game, but the endgame content just a lot harder. Yet, you really know how strong your player is by what you do. I wish Destiny would do something like that. It's a balancing act.

You're looking at it the wrong way. The challenge would be getting to that high power level that lets you murder everything. The godlike feeling is the reward for going through all of the challenging content. No one wants a gimmie, but when I've played the content, I want to be more powerful each time I play through. That's what makes RPG so much fun. Over powering is one of the rewards for completing challenging gameplay. New challenges should simply come with new content and increased power level requirements and challenged that beg to be conquered.

Going back to content that is a year or two past my power level, i truly should be able to crush them. There will always be newer raids and raid lairs at higher power to feel challenged by. Raids fail to really be a challenge after your first few play-throughs, anyways.

Yeah and I mean you might as well start off challenging to begin with, and there's not much point to it getting continually harder when there's a level cap. Well other than going back to it when they raise it I guess.The only thing that would help you then is if bungie designed the mission in some way to aid with that. Which is where things are pretty much at anyway, other than the activity itself lol.

Boring as hell to me.

I think people, at the least, want there to feel like their characters are more powerful. Just being able to deal normal damage once you get above them kind of sucks.
