I don't know how else to say it. Please remove the recommendation mechanic. It is a massively unnecessary hurdle that forces an even bigger unfair gap between new players and people who got the items easier before you implemented this.

They should at least honor out pre-DLC rank and honor the times we ranked the Vanguard up. Luckily for me my piece of Vanguard gear (you can see it on my Char) is from my nightfall strike run. I plan to buy some more (head piece or arms if I can afford) so that I can get a slightly higher light level to head into Crota's End again and finish. I was working at 30 with friends and we had fun and I got the chest piece. I plan to strengthen up and head back in for the whole set (at least what's available).
