Some players can't get good cause their stat distributions suck and their builds are uninspired. [b]Stats, mods, and perks play a huge role in how your Guardian behaves and interacts with their world[/b]. You don't have to use [i]cheese[/i] to win, but it helps to be literate.
Perhaps this can be seen when onboarding New Lights in an amazing, new, [u]never to be removed[/u] campaign, or just an opportunity to change [i]in a short time[/i]. We can have premade armor sets with [b][u]SPECIFIC SPIKEY STAT DISTRIBUTION[/u][/b] obtained through a small adventure or [b]SHORT[/b] quest. To be outfitted with a taste of what focusing on a play style does.
Not triple 100s, just clear definitive spikes without useless stats. Doesn't have to be Artifice. It shouldn't be. Just... Something for PvE for your class. Something for PvP focused. Sets should be selectable and have menu descriptions similar to hovering over characters stats to see if I, perhaps an inexperienced Guardian, favor melee [Str], or class ability, or grenade [Dis].
Also have a [i]suggested[/i] [b]Resilience[/b] Tier posted [u]FOR ALL ACTIVITIES[/u] going forward for players that convince themselves everything is too hard now. You could even have Ghost mention the need for heavier armor for this Op.
[b]PLEASE COMMENT BELOW ON HOW YOU WOULD IMPROVE ON THIS IDEA OR HOW YOU TAKE OFFENSE. [/b]

To me, a new light should be given a coherent reason for why he is “THE Guardian”, and what the purpose of play is. Before this miserable excuse for a new guardian quest came in, there were whole story campaigns enabling you to live the story from waking up on the cosmodrome to current events. It was a full and rich lore experienced by the player and built upon by expansions. Now? After vaulting most of the early story and starting seasonal play, its a disjointed, fragmented mess of activities for no reason. Half the time a new player will be asking why am I doing this again? Add to that the story and activities lost by the removal of old seasonal material and its a confused mess.
