Oh no in order to be high enough light level to gain access to Endgame activity's you actually have... *gasp* play the game!?!

No. You have to play EVERY PART of the game....whether you want to or not. NO other loot-based game in the last 20 years has been this arrogantly---and stupidly---designed. Take The Division 2 If I want to level up to Gear Score 500....I can play ANY part of the game I want. I can grind open world activities---that game's equivalent of public events. I can grind story missions at increased difficulty. I play the weekly INvaded missions and strongholds. I can run bounties. I can play PVP. I can grind the Dark Zone. THE GAME GIVES ME THE FREEDOM TO PLAY IT ANYWAY I WANT. TO PLAY ONLY THE PARTS I ENJOY PLAYING....and rewards me with power and progress. Now the harder teh content I play...the more loot I get and the better the loot I get. But EVERYTHING is progression relevant. ...and stays progression relevant as long as you choose to play it. What Massive doesn't do is treat me like a -blam!-ing FIVE year-old...and lead me around by the hand to every part of the game and tell me "You need to play some of this"...or you don't get to progress. Like I'm a child being told that I can't have dessert unless I eat the Brussel sprouts that I HATE. ...and then PUNISH me (by withholding that progress) if I refuse to comply. THAT is the reason why people are complaining that the game feels like a chore to play...and its why people are LEAVING this game to go play other games (Like The Division 2) that are more enjoyable and treat the player with greater respect. I haven't needed a baby sitter in 40 years...and I'll be damned if I'm going to PAY Bungie in my time and money to treat me like I still need one.

Lol, seriously? I have only been playing Crucible and some Gambit and I'm at 690+, if you want to level up FAST they have given many different OPTIONS to do so. You need to stop whining just because you can't farm one activity and expect to be max light level
