I couldn't care less what the explanation is here, it is blatantly confusing. One pinnacle better than the other. The game does not say whether a one pinnacle reward is of a higher tier than another.
I don't know or understand why I should continue to level. You're incentivizing me to ignore the pinnacle grind. It's better for me to be a bounty goblin, but I'm not going to bother doing that cause it's boring as hell.
Bungie seems afraid of rewarding players for their time. Pinnacle power isn't even much of reward. It's just to say you did it.
Make a better leveling system, please. The artifact is not hiding the reality of the RNG drop system.

For me I think if a pinnacle drops. It should always be minimum plus 1 to what ever it drops for. Like if my arms are 1260, and it gives arms, it should be 1261, even if the next thing I dropped was arms again, it should be 1262. That amount of times I have ran things and they reward me with items minus 1 than what my gear is/ or exactly the same. It’s silly. I don’t mind grinding content for the drops but the drops should always always benefit us one point higher in the slot it drops for.
