As someone who has had to level over a dozen(!) Guardians... (Destiny)

Just wanted to say that I love a lot of what you are saying, but I think you may have missed a bit of my point (or I didn't communicate it clearly enough).
Everything you are saying about the journey, about facing enemies greater than you are, about going into the crucible against better equipped players and defeating them anyway... I agree that all of that stuff is awesome. But I don't think any of it is dependent on a "leveling up" system. IMO, everything you described could be done without dealing with 1-40 ranks or the light level system. Our guardians could still grow in power, unlocking new abilities as we play. We could still gain health through better armor and do more damage through better weapons.
So I agree that everything you described is a positive, but I don't think any of those positives are due to the leveling system :)
