IB is still absurd. "Bring your best gear" my ass. (Destiny)

Again, we've been sold short on the value of gear in IB. It's frustratingly small. I guess level 20 characters might have some trouble, but at 5 levels below cap and 4 below the average player, the only thing I noticed was the sniper body hits. I didn't more quickly than my level 31 hunter, and my time to kill was basically the same, too.

What gives?

I had thought that the sharp drop-off occurred five levels below the target, but in this game (that ended up being 3v4 in the enemy's favor), the 25 on their team (6+ levels below us) had the highest score (which might explain why the three of us wrecked them)... So there's definitely shenanigans going on...
