I did in fact read it. Everyone is misconstruing the information, however. There is in fact a slight bonus to damage resistance and output based on your equipment. It is very minuet and basically unnoticeable by most players. Where everyone is misunderstanding IB is that they think it should be like PVE. Any player above 4 levels to another will be immune to damage caused by said player, but they will be able to do full damage to said player. - Do you honestly think this would be a good idea for the entire community trying to play IB? (A 25 wouldn't be able to damage a 29 but the 29 could one shot a 25.) What I said in the post is that Bungie has miscommunicated to us the true extent of what the details on the attack/defense is actually implemented in IB. But if you actually think about it, I believe we (the community) have vastly overestimated what they actually meant when they said IT matters. You have to also take into account players without 20+ characters that are participating in the event. The way the community is expecting IB to be would mean anyone under the highest ranking player would ultimately be playing for at least second place. How many times have you been in a match with someone over 4 levels above you? Does that sound like fun to play against them?
