It's not but most of the time it's a lot easier to do. I was 325 off exotic engrams once I got on. I get on for around 2hrs a day, sometimes less osmetimes more depends how I feel after work. I did a raid with 321+ on the day of the update. I got invited didn't make a post wanting that high light level. We did everything on our first try. Oryx was so quick. I try to do things quick because I don't play that much. If I played 8hrs a day then yeah.
