Not every player manages to complete 1 raid a week.
I play every week all the pinnacle activities and yet I am at 1555.
The pinnacle drop is totally random and every time it gives the pinnacle piece that you already have at the highest light.
Ex. I have Helmet at 1554 and I drop the pinnacle at 1553.
Makes no sense.
In this way it impossible to reach 1560 light.
Thus I won’t be able to play GMs.
And the artefact takes too long to level up.
So one of the two (artefact - pinnacle system) has to be reviewed.
Please don’t comment silly things just cause you play 24/7 and you are 1560+30 artefact cause Im talking about people that play 1 hour a day, not 20 a week.
Just saying the game requires too much farming -> boring as hell-> people frustrated -> lower player base
-
but, it isn't though. Also, farming is what keeps the game alive. There's a lot of us that enjoy that aspect of the game - and the hours we put in in a week are probably more than you do for half the year. It only makes sense, financially, that Bungie caters to volume. And that's not to say that the game shouldn't or isn't plenty of fun for you, you still play. Literally the only issue you have is doing GM's and master raids/dungeons. To that, the answer is just to play a little more than you do one weekend and you should get there easy.
