The heart of this issue, IMO... (Destiny)

I couldn’t finish pretty much any of the reporting or commentaries about this throughout the media and Destiny community for the fact thqt all anyone wanted to talk about was the negative, given that they weren’t even going to acknowledge an opposing side.

I guess you get more views if you feed the flames instead of doing a balanced consideration of available information, though.

As I’ve pointed out in other comments, the fact that the scaling XP was hidden from the player does cast a shadow on the possibility of this being purely a well-intentioned design goal. It’s not impossible... the scaling could have been hidden due to lack of time to implement, or maybe it simply came down to a bad decision. But hiding XP scaling does seem to work against the argument that XP scaling was done to encourage a diverse gameplay experience.
