Leveling, soft caps, resets. (Destiny)

I can see both sides of this one. If you don’t know what’s actually happening, just say that. Find a way to make good rather than just apologizing for the hundredth time.

On the other hand, who gives a shit? You’ll miss out on a few engrams. Big deal.

Any other week, it wouldn’t matter, but they’re making a huge fuss about not just being world first at the Raid, but getting a reward for completing the Raid within the first 24 hours that it goes live, and since people have no choice but to go into it underleveled, a whole week’s worth of powerful engrams (two weeks if you missed out on completing the weeklies before Saturday) can be the difference between your team completing the Raid or not.

This is true, but it doesn't give anyone an unfair advantage.

It does give a disadvantage to anyone who completed a Weekly after Friday, since the drops were capped from Saturday onward. That said, if you're trying to level up for the raid, you probably completed your weeklies ASAP.

It's still an even and fair playing field for all participants.

I mean, except for the people glitching the Raid chest and stuff to get past the softcaps (with word of 250+ light players already thanks to exploits). I wonder what, if anything, Bungie's going to do about that.

Again, though. It's not just about World First (an asinine thing that soils the attitude towards the game and resets), but on completing a challenge that Bungie designed around the idea of the game not messing up people's drops. And it has.
But who knows, we'll see what happens.
