Even if that was the case, I wouldn't mind because I really don't like the leveling system the way it was. Restricting max level to a couple sets of armor (or one in the case of Destiny vanilla) that were insanely hard to obtain was really annoying, and walled off anyone who wasn't super try hard mlg pro from getting there. Only in the last couple months has that changed and even now etheric light is hard to get a hold of for the causal player. Destiny should have had XP based leveling at the start.
