[quote]I do believe Bungie has completely forgotten the reason Destiny had a level system in the first place. It's quite clear that they have it in now because they think it makes the game more "RPG-like" when they don't seem to understand their implementation is nothing like an actual RPG. Power in Destiny doesn't truly feel like power. It's just a scale that tips a certain amount both ways. Going into a power level 10 difficulty is going to be the exact same difficulty whether you're 100 or 1,000,000. Additionally, they miss the mark on why it's so fun to increase your power in other games. It lets you progress to new areas, new zones, and experience new things. Destiny basically has you grinding literally the exact same, what, ~25ish activities now(?), the entire way. I swear it just feels like an arbitrary hurdle that Bungie is obsessed with trying to make players jump over and over and over. It always just feels like a chore. The way it actually works is kinda odd too, once you think about it. Your guardian is actually weak. All their power is in their clothes. I still think it would be better if Bungie would remove the leveling system entirely. It was cool at first, but now it's just outdated and clunky and serves literally no other purpose than to timegate content for the sole purpose of artificially inflating player metrics. It's not there for the player's benefit. I'm an advocate for focusing on just making the game more fun and replayable to let it stand on it's own. You know something is wrong with an activity if the only way you can get players to play it is to jingle something shiny as a reward.[/quote] Over level exists in content that isn’t power locked.
