The issue is that this just means they are going to hold the status as it is, rather than worsen the drop rate/power value which was the proposal. This does not mean that it will improve, which it kind of needs to. I know MANY players who are not even 400 yet, or just barely getting there now, and with A&I 2 weeks away are not looking forward to just continuing the grind. I personally got to 400 relatively quickly, then kind of stopped grinding. I wasnt pressed with getting 450, I just farmed what I wanted to farm for the loot, and helped my buddies out when they needed it. Kind of, enjoying the rest stage if you can say that. I was lucky to have a lot of free time during week 2 of the expansion, but many of my friends feel that they have nothing but grind in the game at the moment, and cant really play what they want for fun because they still are not up to the power level that they need to be. Matchmade activities NEED to be more rewarding than solo/custom ops. They take longer, and are more difficult than they need to be... but most players who use them are not the players who optimize for the grind and suffer for it. Me personally, I ran many Fireteam Ops when I needed a focused drop, but ran solo with custom mods tailored to my kit and made easy work of it. Me running solo is faster than running the matchmade version by a considerable margin most of the time, and I can be sure to get an A grade on it, which is not necessarily true for the matchmade version. Matchmade Ops should have bonus power drops in comparison to the custom.
