I think that by Attaching Levels, Or Light in this case, to gear is a mistake for many reasons and is a weird way for bungie to have decided to do things with end game leveling, or whatever it is theyre trying to do. This makes it a very strange way to gain levels to begin with and not only that, but it makes virtually all other sets of gear worthless except for the gear that makes you max level.
So id you have a set of gear that your really like, you will not be able to use it as you will drop in levels and their is not transmog type of system in this game.
And it forces you to opt out of maybe some of the gear you wanna use, just because another piece has more light, When you may like the perks, look, or stats of another piece that has less light.
This also makes it so when you release new gear, that allows us to go beyond level 30, will the current legendaries go down in tier? since they will then be no longer good, if they are 20 levels below the new "light" cap.
I just dont know if it was the best way to do things.
I do love the game though.
What do you guys think?

I think the system is fine, you can instantly see how well geared a player is for PvE. I think it's clearer that WoW's system, where everybody is level 90 but are worlds apart regarding their stats, because some are in raid gear and others are not....
