Question about this point (Destiny)

I can bring up a 280 weapon that makes me happy to a reasonable level.

So this is obviously a personal decision, but what is that level for you?

To make things easier on myself and to save time & space, I have a rule that if I get a blue item below 286, I dismantle it ASAP.

A few weeks ago I had a streak where three or four exotic engrams decrypted as 290 weapons. I was annoyed--I wanted 310. It made me wonder a few things: Why don't any drop at 300? How much of a difference does 290 vs 310 make, really? Does it only matter at the highest level activities (KF HM?)

I assume you weren't 311+?

I've heard people on the internet claim to get 290s when their light was this high, but I've yet to see any evidence of that happening.

I think that there's a 75% chance that you'll get 310s up until you're 315+, after which it's 100%. Rolling four 290s would be crappy luck, but not unheard of(put into perspective, I think I got four Last Words in a row from Primary Exotic engrams).
