Agree.
Bungie talked ALOT about NOT having only 1 option or 1 correct answer. They don't want us ALL thinking the only weapon to use in crucible is the Suros AR or Mythoclast and want us to want to use pistols, scout, pulse , etc.
So please don't make only one set of Gear be the correct choice. I hope we have more choices that allow us to get to level 30.
Gosh it's the worst feeling to spot another badass looking warlock at the tower with an amazing trench coat and I walk over and inspect his gear in a jealous rage and then I'm shocked to discover it's a blue coat with zero light stat.
I feel like I'd wear a baby puke green coat that said "loser noob" on the back if it had +200 light stat .......and I'd bet everyone else would too. That's NOT cool.
