Why do you disagree? (Destiny)

And now it is fixed. You have access to top level gear with minimal effort. Technically you did all along through Iron Banner. That's why I did. A mix and match to get to 30 and later 32. Also, I disagree that being one level shy of the maximum equals being screwed over. That's just your hyperbole... again.

A.. what? Being level 31 against level 33 monsters is a distinct disadvantage. That's not hyperbole at all. Is it possible? Yes. But it's very, very hard. I'm sure there's a raid of super skilled amazing people who could tackle CE hard mode all as level 31, but that ain't me or my friends, and the fact that I was only 31 definitely held back our group.

Also, the Iron Banner didn't sell level 32 items until later in the CE cycle. Remember everyone complaining that Iron Banner only gave level 31 items the first time it rolled around during CE? I do. I've gone to rank 5 in every Iron Banner but the last one; believe me that if it had been a possible solution I'd have taken it.

It does look like PoE's loot system has solved the armor RNG screwage and I'm very glad for that. The armor tokens and weapon tokens are a good addition to the game as far as I'm concerned. But you'll note that they also back up my point about RNG-based loot being an insufficient loot system and that RNG loot systems need safeguard in place to prevent screwage. We're stepping in the right direction with those, but at the same time we're falling into RNG-recursiveness with Treasure Key drops and loot from the Big Chest that those keys open. It's a mixed bag, this PoE loot.
