Ultimately, what difference does it make other than helping someone participate in group activities?
A significant bummer for me when I started on Xbox was that I was locked out of pretty much every single activity because my level was too low. This removes that issue, but doesn't do much more for players.

Because a better solution would be, somehow through Bungie.net, flag your account with the highest level your character has reached on any platform. Got an Xbox recently? Well, your bungie.net profile has a level 40 hunter. So, when you start up the Xbox game, you make a new character… who can be anywhere between level 1 and level 40. Your choice.

Wouldn't that be much better? If it's a barrier, eliminate it. Don't just make the problem go away with money.

Do you really think the market for these sparks is folks switching platforms?

No, but that's exactly what he's arguing.

No... That's not what I said at all. I was pointing out that that really small market would really be the only one benefitting from your solution, which Bungie has hinted at being a platform thing on Microsoft/Sony's end.

The bottom line is that if enough people feel that guns level so slowly they need to buy telemetries, then perhaps guns should just upgrade faster?

They level up fast enough with motes that I often wonder if it's worth the hassle to walk over to Banshee to buy a telemetry from him... Pretty sure people won't be buying these bundles for those Telemetries...
