I'm guessing you haven't played d1 in awhile, or you only have a very limited memory of it. Again, weekday are these activities you like to do that gave you drops in d1 that don't now? Almost every activity gives you guaranteed drops now where it was pure rng in d1. I ran strike after strike and never got anything to level up on several occasions.

I literally leveled up from grinding strikes in D1. I'd use strikes until Iron Banner came around then then infused my best PvP gear and then used that. I'd be as high as I could reasonably get without raids before IB was gone. I'd didn't have a group to raid with all the time and I didn't like LFG. So no. Either your experience was completely different from mine and many others for some reason or you weren't paying attention.

Or you don't understand that you can strike to get to the soft cap now, and use ib to get as high as you reasonably can now without raiding too. The difference is minimal at best. Unless you only started playing with taken king or roi.
-
You don't understand that a potential +1 at terrible RNG from strikes in D2 is not equivalent to the potential +3 D1 engrams provided. Hence the word "reliable" I've been using. You seem to have ignored that.
-
Reliable. Potential. Either you had better rng In d1 than anyone else as worse rng in d2 than anyone else, or you're just romanticizing d1. You also didn't use the word reliable until just a few back. I get exotics, which are powerful, as random open world drops almost as much as the +3 drops you're talking about in d1. If you played a specific random amount of activities solely devised to avoid the weekly powerful and pinnacle drops, your progress wouldn't be significantly slower than d1 playing only strikes. It feels like it to you maybe, you might be mad that people that don't mind whatever can progress faster, but what you said isn't significantly slower. It just feels that way because all that stuff you don't want to do is faster.
