Why Bungie should remove Power Level System in Destiny 2

Power Levels in Destiny 2 determine the strength of a Guardian. This number changes with each season and determines the kind of activities they can participate in.

Many factors influence the power level in Destiny 2. A significant chunk of the Power Level determinants comes from the armor pieces and weapons equipped by Guardians.

Seasonal artifacts also provide a slight boost to this level. However, there's a small issue with the system, which depends entirely on the RNG.

The only way to increase the Power Level in Destiny 2 is by picking up gear with a higher Power Level. Depending on its stats, Guardians may choose to use the piece or infuse it with a lower-powered gear with better stats to bring up the Power Level of that gear.

However, after a point, regular loot drops don't contribute significantly to the Power Level increase, and that's where the Pinnacle Gear comes in. The items classified as Pinnacle Gear usually have a higher Power Level and better stats. But the grind for a Pinnacle Gear can be treacherous.

Moreover, this grind is influenced by the RNG. Pinnacle Gear is a broad classification used for armor and weapons in Destiny 2. If an activity offers Pinnacle Gear as a reward, it could reward Guardians with a weapon or a piece of armor.

The RNG makes things worse because it affects the drop rates. After a couple of Pinnacle Activity runs, one Guardian might get four different pieces of armor, while someone might get four copies of the same armor piece and the same Power Level.

Since the overall Power Level is an average of the Power Levels of all the equipment used by the Guardian, having one really powerful piece of equipment doesn't make much difference. Not only is this unfair, but it makes the grind very
