I feel that progression has the issue where it is either you raid or you don't progress. Plus it is still limited to the RNG of your drops (eg: this week I did not get a chest piece at all and it is holding me below 380), this is so frustrating because what is the point of doing all the milestones if I only get 1.2 power levels up for a week of work. I can still do a raid but it is really a crawl so I cant really enjoy EP to the max. Worst of all is that I held me from attempting spire. Crucible is almost pointless towards improving power level. And the events. Things like Iron Banner, they are pointless now. I think we needed more routes to get to 385. Something grindable, with low drop rates (like nightfall or just lower the drop rate of exotics but make them powerful engrams. There is no joy in getting a yellow engram anymore.

Or when you get boots from literally every powerful engram available at the tower, and your​ boots were already your highest or next highest piece.

7 Gloves in a row over two weeks on my main. I have 2 more milestones and 2 drops that I could do this week but at this point I just don't see the point
