I agree (Destiny)

People may also want to just wear gear sets they like - destiny fashion. It's hard to wear gear sets you want at level 34 (full dead orbit for instance) when its so difficult to get etheric light. Its the new bottleneck. Until it becomes easier to ascend gear, everyone will still end up having nearly the same armor sets (PoE/Osiris level 42 gear) as it is too much effort to bring variety from ascending.

I think what we'll see the most of is people racing to 34, the switching their focus to weapons. At the rate I'm acquiring Etheric Light it will probably take a few months for me to upgrade the weapons I want to, then I'll go back to upgrading more armor.

I believe this is intentional to make it so people try out the new weapons. If you could get 10 etheric light in the first week I doubt many people would try many new weapons if you already loved your old weapons. I never would've gotten my Rapier for example if during TDB I could've just upgraded my Fatebringer to 331.
