Trials Gear dropping at 260 light level (Destiny)

Bungie, please fix your stupid light level drops for both IB and Trials. It's absurd to give someone gear that's 40 light level lower than they are, especially as a reward for an event that requires maximum light. All of the drops from both IB and Trials should be 300 minimum. In fact, I read that trials gear was supposed to be 310-320, but apparently that only means the stuff you get in the Lighthouse?

I'm really hoping this is related to the "bug" Bungie found after IB that affected IB drops (and how, pray tell, did they *not* find that bug when testing IB prior to its launch?).

So I think the way it works is that gear you get as random post-game drops can come in as low as 260. I got several pieces of armor in the 260-280 range over the weekend. But gear that you get from the bounty packages and the lighthouse should all be 300+. I got the Scout Rifle at 300 and the Pulse Rifle at 310, plus some boots at 308 all from bounty packages. Then I got a 310 Adept hand cannon from the Lighthouse.
