I have 2 level 34s and 1 level 33... Hasn't stopped me from playing. I still try for old raid weapons that I don't have and still need etheric to ascend it. Plus I want to ascend other Legendary armor that has better stats than the stuff sold by Variks. There's plenty to do after level 34. Not going to stop me. Bring on the etheric. 3 per week sucks and I rarely see it drop in nightfall.
