[quote]Yeah, this is the first season that I'm grinding slowly to get to the power level to be able to farm this season's new exotics. I enjoyed beyond light and then some and got the new exotics through the leg lost sectors, but now I find myself behind the power curve as it feels 1830 is unreachable anytime soon to be able to run them. This is the first time I'm struggling leveling up.[/quote] My pinnacle drops have been a disaster, so I'm pretty far behind too. Even at cap, I'm 1824, so 1830 is not far off. I'm at 1806 gear level, so slowly making progress, I just started getting 1808 stuff last night. But man, getting up there, and then having it all yanked away again for these forced negative caps sucks. It was nice to be able to out grind the recommended lights to help people through stuff like master raids. I enjoyed helping people. It's one of the reasons I play the game. This new system is horrible. I can get the activities done, and my more experienced friends can get them done too. No worries there. But my casual friends and clan mates? They're having a terrible time. Less than a page worth of people on in the clan roster on a nightly basis. Most of them don't want to play anymore, or if they do, not for any longer than a few activities, and nothing endgame anymore except RoN.
