I'm playing mostly solo these days, but am in a clan and can get help when needed (like for the legendary lost sectors or an infrequent raid). I started this season at 961 and am up to 980 power and season pass level 20 is less than a week. All level 1 and 2 perks unlocked in the EDZ bunker along with a couple level 3 perks. The bunker rank is at level 5. I've played a little Crucible for some of the bounties/challenges. I don't do Trials, so not a big deal there. Warmind public events are a waste of time as most people either don't know what to do or just ignore it because they're getting kills for a specific bounty. I'm not a fan of this content and am splitting time with this and BL3 (much more enjoyable now that they've buffed a significant number of legendary weapons!). Regardless, it's not difficult to level up. You just have to play smart and use your vendor tokens to help fill out power levels of gear in under-leveled slots. Beneditc-99 is selling gear at your current base power level. Same for the EDZ vendor Devrim Kay. There are probably others but I haven't tested them. Check them each week because they change at reset. There is usually at least one vendor selling gear at your current base level.
