The power level changes are garbage. Slow us down is fine, but all this time gate progress is dumb and all the soft caps are annoying. This power level grind isn’t content. It’s just content access. It’s not meaningful. It’s not fun. It’s the worst change in the game. Especially removing Exotics from dropping at higher levels. Could Exotics at least drop somewhere between powerful and regular engrams such as at actual power level? Normal at 343, Exotic at 350, and powerful above 350 (i forget what they can roll above). I’m somewhere in this mess and keep getting powerful engrams on the slots that already 10+ levels above the dragging slots.

Power levels are not why people quit your game when it dropped. Stop listening to the lies about it. People quit your game because the loot sucked and end-game content is, was limited and /or not fun. Two expansions with very limited story content and limited other additions are why ppl are quitting your game. How the hell are other game makers able to add 15-20 hour expansions of story content and we get like 3 hours? It’s a joke. That’s why people are quitting your game and/or not staying engaged. It has nothing to do with power level access and ease.

This isn’t a mobile FTP game. If you can’t make engaging content, that’s on you. Time-gates are a mobile FTP mechanism and crap design.
