Correct Solution (Destiny)

Whenever a new expansion launched for Destiny, there is a mad scramble by some of you lunatics to rush-rush-rush to level up and do the Raid or whatever the end thing is. Frankly, I think that's boring and short sighted. You don't savor the content. Then you feel empty. If you have the time to do that, and you want to, more power to you. Most of us don't have that time. I am that 50% that didn't do the Raids. I only ever finished VoG and Crota.

The best, and most correct solution is to have the raid accessible at any light level, and launch immediately. Easy. Medium. Hard. Select the difficulty level appropriate to your light. Easy would be playable by basically anyone who has completed the story missions.

But wait… that just sounds a lot like the classic difficulty selection in video games that's been around for years. Oh exactly. Light level is a solution in search of a problem.

Why the simple solution of eliminating the need to grind to play the raid right away is not implemented is beyond me. Level gates are the problem.

The barrier to the raid should be challenge, not difficulty.
