Adopt the Doctrine of Ignorance. (Destiny)

I recently had an epiphany while playing: Destiny is in such a state that the less I'm invested, the more fun I have. I come to it completely uninformed and it makes everything a surprise. Learning what the changes are from engaging with my fellow DBOers ingame has been much more enjoyable than digging through reddit posts or watching videos of someone else's gameplay on Youtube.

Yes exactly! So… wouldn't that mean the investment system getting out of the way and letting you have fun? I've been saying this for 9 years now: investment systems are anti-fun by their very design.

The easiest and most realistic implementation of this is a simple light level selector on the activity, ranging from very easy to very hard. Almost like the difficulty selector they had in the Alpha. You can work your way up any way you see fit.
