Did a JRPG pour sugar in your gas tank? (Destiny)

The problem I see there, though, is that high-level loot that actually affects gameplay is likely to become a foothold for players at that level to get by. So while some may see it as 'hey, neat. finally got X weapon', that becomes a matter of life and death for the folks who are running raids all the time and really pushing hard to the endgame content.

Bingo. If the loot doesn't impact the game significantly, then why is it there? But if it DOES, then it's going to be a requirement.

P.S. I suggest boots named Miller's Edge that let you run 10% faster.

Have you played Titanfall? I keep wondering what you'd think of the wallrunning in that. It's pretty damn exhilarating.
