I took the opposite approach... (Destiny)

That's fine for you. Personally, I wasn't willing to put in the effort to run 32 PoE once per character to get armor, only to do it AGAIN when the armor I wanted showed up.

No one's arguing that level doesn't matter. But my time matters, too. And it's not infinite.

Not saying you're way isn't best for you, just saying that in my case, buying the PoE armor WAS the faster way to go because I could then get Etheric Light sooner and use it to level up the armor I wanted to use sooner. I had all 3 characters out of PoE armor and into the armor I actually wanted to use by the start of week 3, I believe.
