His reply covered it already, but in other words:

Every piece of gear would have a straight forward way to earn it. Not everyone would have everything, but it wouldn't be because RNG screwed them.

I'm not sure how many people would enjoy that, as we've already seen plenty of people upset over ToO gear and the Lighthouse and being "locked out" of an area and gear because they're not good enough.

Personally, I think little rewards like The Lighthouse are fine because it is just a little bonus that stands on its own. If there was another activity in Destiny that required a piece of gear to access it, and that gear could only be earned by going flawless in Trials, then that would be a problem IMO.

The Elemental primary rewards you get from the lighthouse are acceptable for two reasons: You can get non-elemental versions of them from Brother Vance (which are identical to the Adept versions in the crucible), and you can earn other elemental primaries in different activities.
