So I have a question about raising the level cap.... (Destiny)

So you have to replace all your VoG raid armor with the new WoC raid armor if you want to raise above 30?

Not very clear, but it's been said that there will be new "gear" added that can raise your light levels, possibly of existing gear.

So pretty much everyone above level 30 is going to be wearing the exact same stuff just with slightly different shaders?

I see a lot of level 30s, and they don't all wear the same gear. A lot of identifiable pieces, but exotics and such help add a little bit of personalization into the mix. If the upcoming gear helps us level up our lesser, non-exotic armors, then maybe we'd get a bigger variety of styles, which would be great...

And this also means that all Exotic armor is now worthless?

See above. Also, how would something be worthless just because it didn't max out your character?

Is this how an "MMO" is normally done?

Yes, actually. Certain armor sets are endgame rewards, to be easily identifiable, and with the highest stats... Not always, though. As always, we come back to something like Monster Hunter, which figured out a much better solution, though that's not an MMO...
