My understanding: (Destiny)

I suspect that levels will still matter just as much as they always have -- up until level 40. Then the new light system takes over. So while you aren't artificially kept out of things by level, there will be recommended light levels.

It will be interesting to see what the recommended levels are -- if they are minimum bars (i.e. you need to have x light in order to reasonably accomplish this task) or if they are more guidelines for saying "the average player should have x light in order to have fun here and play this as we intended". In the latter case, the better you are the less light required. But somehow I don't think that's what we will be seeing. It will be probably both overall better and less different than we think.
