Possible Solutions to the Pinnacle Problem
Below you will see some of my suggestions for making changes to the number of ways guardians could acquire pinnacle loot (in no particular order)
- Could leverage the Cryptarch to convert 8 (or some number) of Prime Engrams into 1 Pinnacle Engram. This would only be available to guardians who have reached 751 because I do believe that pinnacle activity completion is required to reach 760. I also think that this could be limited to 1 once per week.
- Each season could provide challenging Triumphs and/or Seals (specifically from pinnacle activities) which grant only 1 pinnacle dop
- Each Master Nightmare Activity should be curated to have vastly different modifiers (hopefully even more challenging) which each drop Pinnacle loot
- Shadowkeep Raid Challenges on the highest difficulty (granted the challenge is hopefully challenging) should drop a pinnacle from the raid loot pool
- Shax and Drifter should have their own pinnacle weekly quest or bounty tied to Shadowkeep's theme. (There has got to be a path forward for players who simply enjoy pvp or gambit to reach pinnacle. It should not be PVE only on a weekly basis)

Simple solution: Once you hit 950 base, all powerful drops (no matter the tier) should drop +1 All pinnacle drops should be +3 (up to the max of 960 base power) That's it. If that were the drop scheme, it would work. No need to re-write the entire game or activities.
