As a certified crucible legend (top 1% for crucible deaths, top 1% for orb collection, bottom 3% for ktd), and expert PvE player (2 check em 2 raid completions) who was the world's first to solo the crota chest in the abyss using only dancing to traverse the map, I have this great concept.
The reality is PvE is easy mode for scrubs. Giving out light 42 gear for walking through easy content vs the hard slog of earning it in the Iron Banner is a slap in the face. Anyone can die at the lanterns and get 36 light gear when a hunter invisibility cheeses the section solo. Only the supreme can grind the Iron Banner to level 34.
UPDATE: hahahahahahaha the Scrub zone of Eldars is an even bigger joke. Hur hur hur a 30 second gjally blast to level 35 completion. Please. And the Trials is Scrubsiris.....where 1 good player carries 2 scrubs to the lighthouse week in week out is hardly worthy of max level. These activities should be deleted from the game!!!!
I think raid, PoE and Trials gear should be reduced to Blue gear to represent the lack of skill required to get it.

You know when you think about it iron banner gear is actually harder to get than raid gear (all troll aside) you can only get 1 or 2 pieces per month and it consumes days unless you have the time and patience to do it in 1 Whereas raid gear you can get the entire set in a single run and it only takes around 3-5hrs if your team is average. but in the end it still sums up to this. You only need the highest light level to make the raid more forgiving not to kill some punk in Iron banner(where level doesn't even truly matter) (Once again I acknowledge your troll but just a thought)
