The higher power (level) you get, the harder and more unfun everything becomes all of the time. So people are deleting their high power gear in order to have fun with lower activities again.
Making every single activity the top level difficulty is beyond bad. It is the most inept game creation decision I have ever heard of. Even dark souls games get easier as you gain levels.
What exactly is wrong with you. Why exactly do you hate your game and player base so much?
Seriously, having to go balls to the wall in everything one does to get any meaningful loot is indescribably bad.

Imho. BS Not OPs post if true but deleting gear??? Imho BS. I can adjust difficulty to any level, of course I won't get tier 5s at expert level nor PL upgrades. I am at 460ish now and 5s are dropping left and right. Weapons I don't "need" cause I still use my old god rolls and exotics, yes, I am old and stubborn. But armour is the best I ever got and no way I would have acquired artifice and adepts in the old system. Aztecross commenting on a Esoterickk video wishing back the "good old times" where best gear was tied to RNG and skill reserving it for the 1% player base who can do it. Best loot was "socialized", no advantage anymore for screamers, I beg your pardon, streamers. Yet, PL resets must go and more content was good but it must have been obvious to anybody that after these layoffs less could be created. The last one is turning off the lights. Don't make a drama out of it. We are not yet there. Take care.
