Forever 31 was a thing? Crota was so generous that I had all my characters to level 32 within 6 weeks.
I understand it can be frustrating to feel stuck at a certain level, but even though I was in #forever 29, I was still able to get a TON of sweet loot along the way. Got FB and Corrective Measure for all 3 chars, basically at least 1 of every raid gun except foil and timepiece, Got an OG Suros and a Hardlight.
I don't blame the grind for creating the rift though. I blame how Destiny was set up. You were always in an artificial time crunch because new DLC would render everything irrelevant so quickly that people who played at their own pace got left behind. Infusion solved TWO issues because it removed the artificial time constraints AND it allowed things to always carry forward. So again, I don't think the rest of what they did in Y2 was necessary.

What actually solved this issue was house of wolves and the etheric light system. That was the first time I was able to hit max lvl, though that was also when I switched to Xbox from ps4 and started playing with some friends from work and found my first clan.

But that was a temporary solution because EL wasn't carried forward. I understand your point, but I think infusion was a better long-term solution than EL. Although I will say that infusion isn't even my preferred progression system. I would much prefer having a purely exp-based or mote-infusion system instead.

Agree, IMO light system never had to born, it was introduced to extend the life of the game but at this point is totally useless. Once you get the right lvl (now 40) you should equip any piece of armor/weapon. No need for infusion. Same with 3oC, do you remember that video from E3 when they killed a mini boss and drop a Gjallarhorn? That should be introduced since day 1. Looking for specific loot or a chance for an exotic? Go to patrol and farm some mini bosses for their unique drop and/or a possible exotic. Again same with the loot in strikes, they always should give us a chance for drop... now we need lucky to get the strike we are looking for, lucky for keys drops, lucky for that armor/weapon we are looking for and lucky with the right perks... that's no funny in any way. I'm pretty bored with all the changes they introduced in this last 2 years. They changed their vision completly from the main idea and lost in the darkness... If D2 takes the same path, I'm out. They sell us a "MMO" with open world idea... never happend. Gearbox did something similar with Aliens, they show a game and then sold "another" game. Why Bungie was not sued? Because don't have competence at that time?? No one know.
