seriously why wasn't this implemented in the first place, by making dungeons and raids always drop pinancle power level on any piece of gear, it would do wonders and make people play them again
and bring back the old vendor system, and make it where everytime you rerank up you get 1+ tier drops, so if you see someone rocking with tier 5 gambit drops you know they play a ton of a gambit, or if you see someone with incredible t5 vanguard or crucible weapons and armor you know they play a ton of crucible or vanguard, you see my idea
this would make it where you get go to any of the worlds you like, and by simply playing you earn the higher tier gear you want from that respected vendor or world you like, I don't see the problem with this since it would benifit everyone and make all the older content and worlds you travel to still meaningful
it's just that the portal would be for those who want to earn the new or reprised weapons and armor while the older activities are still there and you can progress with those, you just don't earn the new and featured gear, etc.

As someone like you who wants this, I have to also be the one to say this.... They won't because it requires work. The design of the portal and the activities in it mean they have to go back and rework ALL the old content to make it usable. They will not update it in the director to give leveled gear because it goes against the portal. Love it or hate it, it's not going anywhere. IMO the portal should have been built as a sub-menu of the director. Either way, you won't see updated "Legacy Content" for at least 6 months, i would predict, and when it does show up, they will act like it's some big surprise, or used as a form of apology when they next gouge players for money while the game is breaking.
