That's why I said you hit 500, you try a few builds, you find out they're all boring, you grind missions to min max for a few measly increments of betterness to your build and you don't have anything to play for because 999/1000 of your drops are useless junk to you. Nobody said once you hit max score it's totally over. There's nothing new to do but it takes a few days of grinding and you have your build about as good as it can get. They -blam!-ed up loot in this game as bad as Anthem did, it's just a dirty little secret the community refuses to admit to themselves.
