100s of levels = Pointless (Destiny)

Having 100 or so levels a la CoD or Battlefield is pointless; the levels in those games mean nothing beyond someone playing long enough to reach them...nothing else. Those games give you access to the entire arsenal of equipment very quickly; leveling up from there does nothing but give you the next-highest number next to your name.

The level cap of 20 in Destiny essentially means you are now a high enough level to equip any piece of gear in the game, BUT you still have to earn or find that gear. Then you have to level up that gear to upgrade it.

The way I see it, Destiny is more about playing with a group of mates, finding great gear, upgrading that gear to reap the benefits and then putting it and your skill to the test in the crucible and, especially, in events like the Iron Banner. It is much more about those experiences than simply trying to hit an arbitrary number which has little to no meaning.
