I understand what you're saying, but my guess is...you haven't really played an MMO type game before have you? Lol. A lot of this is very normal. Like leaving gear behind is normal. This game isn't for everyone and everyone should understand this. I knew exactly what this game was when I got it and I love it. Definitely my style of game. But not everyone likes to grind for gear and that's cool. I do like it however. Yes 40 is useless info on a character, but you know what...if Bungie can redesign the entire leveling system once they can do it again and improve upon it. Nothing is etched in stone in this game except we get to shoot aliens. If one doesn't understand this then I can see why they're frustrated. So if Destiny isn't for you that's fine, but please don't behave as if you have the final verdict on what this game is. Many people understand the way this game works and are very passionate about it because it is fun for us.
