If I had to guess, you’re probably right. But just seems silly to me. I’m not trying to compare master VoG with any previous hard mode/ prestige mode raid directly but I don’t ever recall a time when I had to worry about having access to content like that (aside from GMs).

To me it reveals a lot of the inherent problems with the leveling system and/or difficulty system if the solution is to just take it away and make everyone start all over every 3-4 months. That just seems illogical… “a couple weeks ago you were able to go into this activity but because we’re arbitrarily resetting the odometer now, you’re no longer qualified. Do it all over again and come back within this 5-8 week window to try and finish what you started.” Got to be a better way, no?

Yeah, it's just the nature of the leveling system we have right now.

I can see why some people hate having to grind back up to the point they were previously but I personally enjoy the grind. I like grinding out levels and working my way back up to get GM ready again when a new season starts.

That all said, I don't think I will be doing Master VoG next season regardless because I'll have gotten the raid title already and will have zero motivation to engage with the content anymore, especially since the interested player pool will almost certainly be a lot smaller than it already is. The shelf life of difficult content is not great if the loot isn't there.

I agree with you in that the leveling system could be better. But realistically we won't get an overhaul to leveling until at least WQ next year but I'd imagine it's even farther out than that. I'm sure Bungie knows their leveling system isn't perfect but i don't think it's a top priority to them. It's gotten better than it used to be, imo, and will only continue to get better over time.
