I personally would like the leveling system to switch to a more traditional XP grind. While I hate the word "grind" and the tasks generally associated with it, I'd love to be able to wear whatever armor I want and remain my current level.
Honestly, I'm exhausted of seeing all my fellow Warlocks looking the same. Crota raid gear, Light Beyond Nemesis/Apotheosis Veil, Glowhoo....yes, there are unique players out there but the majority of us look roughly the same. Where's our individuality in this game?
Let's help build a better Destiny.
Edit 1: Someone mentioned Cosmetic Armor. I think this is brilliant. Anyone else find this idea cool? (I think they did this in Star Wars Galaxies)
Edit 2: Someone mentioned using Motes of Light to increase the light level of older gear. I really like this idea too! I have over 200 Motes that I'd love to put on my old VoG gear. They should be permanently attached, and if you dismantle the item you could maybe get 3/4 of then back. What do you guys/gals think?
Edit 3: Wow guys this thread has really become something! There's so many good ideas in here. Let's hope Bungie is listening. Keep the ideas coming, I'm doing my best to respond to all of you in between raiding and upgrading my not-gjallahorns haha

i have mixed feelings about the leveling situation.. i aporeciate bothe sides of the spectrum. but thinking long term, and actual programming wise, the future looks bleek. think of it this way... the original XP to 20, light to 32 already exists. the ammoubt of programming it would take to change that and the manpower accompanied is staggering and simply put- not worth bungie's time. thus brings up the question, whats next? if at any point bungie wants to return to an XP based route, this will create an XP-Light-XP sandwich for lack of better words. in this case, to ensure fairness, you would not be able to gain XP levels until after the light level of 32, leaving some players in that 31 to 32 abyss, waiting for the iron banner to have a specific piece. until then, all XP would be seemingly wasted, deterring players from continuing. because of this i truly fear that it's all light level based from here..
