It's alright about the spelling, people makes mistake all the time, I am not a grammar police :D Back to the subject, yes I see a pattern, I believe ascending, reforging will all be introduce again, we start grind over again then Bungie drop it damage down and introduce year 3 year 4 with higher attack again and again. But notice something, go down to Earth patrol (lv4) and all our 300+ gears still not feeling that powerful.
