Ok, that's something to work with. Here's the thing though. You have to find a balance, right? 400, as you say, is a completionist goal. Why should you be able to easily reach a completionist goal 5 weeks in? You can't just give everything away because then it's not rewarding/challenging, and you can't make it super punishing because everyone would quit. To cap everything at 390 would get us back to "forever 29" again and nobody wants that. But on the other side I do tend to agree with you that regular crucible drops going to max light is a bit much, particularly since the drop rate is actually quite good now. Faction packages are really easy to get, honestly, and drop everything except artifacts so that would be an extremely easy way to get to max light, theoretically without ever having to leave patrol, and that's just silly. But there does need to be some other ways to get there, and weekly bounties and exotics are a decent compromise. It's so difficult to level up exotics relative to other items that to never have them drop at max light would be incredibly frustrating.
