Power level makes no sense (Criticism)
It's really there just to incentivise end game content. Raids and Trials are hard, and for some, they need the exclusivity of the power level in addition to the unique gear in order to keep interest.
These days PVP alone isn't enough to maintain interest in a game. It's expected now to have some sort of "investment system" that encourages players to keep playing.
The easiest way to do so is to provide some sort of progress bar that people fill. Levels make a good progress bar, and now we have to have some reason to grind them, so PL.
