I agree, but at the same time I also disagree. I was lucky to hit lvl 30 a month ago. I got bored of doing shit for no reason other then lvl up guns I won't use and try to get drops which keep giving me useless gear. New DLC means grinding has a purpose. New gear that needs lvling, drops that can potentially be better then I already have. When you originally hit lvl 20 it was fun/annoying changing gear all the time as new, better stuffed dropped. Then you would almost lvl it up to have more new gear drop that's better (RNGesus can be so cruel. Now I am reliving that thought provoking concept. Do I buy new vangaurd gear to reach lvl 31 straight up, I know that I will only discard it as I get raid gear?. Do I try and get raid gear first then fill in the blanks with vanguard gear?. Do I buy new guns and lvl them up so I have more fire power for the raid? Or do I wait to see if I can get some drops?. Do I spend energies on shitty drops that have higher potential power or hold off?. This strategy of building the guardian is my favorite bit. There is no real story so I smash through the missions for xp (to lvl my new gear). The horrible grind of this weeks nightfall where you bitch so hard in that starting room hoping to chip a little bit of health off here and there was fun. The amount of times we almost died then pulled out a creative revive plan was half the fun. The group tea-bag when she went down felt more emotional.
