This is what is so great about Destiny, and few people realize it. Bungie has designed a level progression system in which it's possible to stand a chance, no matter what level you are. Earning levels gains players meaningful powers and abilities, but none those powers and abilities are over-powered, and they each take skill to use and master. It is clear that Bungie did not want lvl 30s to be impervious to lvl 2s, as most would expect to see in other MMO style games. If the game operated this way, winning and losing would boil down to nothing more than who grinded more at the end of the day. It has taken me a while to see the big picture, but as a long time fan, I can say that I love Destiny, and I am excited for the future; so long as Bungie sticks to their guns about what they know is right for the game.
