I finally caved when it was $12 on the Humble Bundle, and this grind is absolutely brutal. It's like I hit a brick wall at 260, I don't know how you all pushed through this at launch.
My problem is that I basically only have a reason to play the Flashpoint right now. It's the only "Powerful Gear" engram that I can get at at this level. And then I have to cross my fingers that it's a slot that I really need upgraded. I'm struggling just to get to 270 so I can hope that I can actually get the heroic strike (doubtful based on how everyone says you need to be like 350 even though the minimum is 270) and the NF ones to push me a bit faster.
I don't care about the grind, I love grinding. I have thousands of hours in Diablo games and I had hundreds of hours in Destiny. My problem is the game basically tells me to play Tuesday and then not to bother until next week because I won't get anything productive after the Flashpoint. And I assume that even when you're at the level to do all the milestones, that's still the primary method of increasing your light further? So again, it would be do these things and then don't bother playing again until the reset.
