LEVEL ADVANTAGES ENABLED Equip your most powerful gear. The Attack and Defense ratings for your weapons and your armor will be crucial to victory. that alone is why it should matter, thats what bungie said! word for word. in pve a character 1-10 cant even hurt a level 15-30 so why, when stated about Ib is it any different, it really shouldnt be at all... this is just bs in a crap basket. as most people have said theres litterally no differenece at all in weapon damage to targets of varying levels. so level advantages are not valid.
