So I was in a fireteam earlier today, because this one guy wanted me to help him finish an Exotic bounty. He, a Level 31, was desperate for help, so I thought I'd help out by grabbing a few more Level 30s from Tower and then we could go try-- however when we got to orbit, one of the guys said that I shouldn't help on this mission, as I was only a Level 29 and we were going to be on an Epic modifier for the Summoning Pits (we were trying to get Thorn). I completely understood why the guy would feel that way; I wouldn't want a lower level player on a raid with us.
However, I just don't understand. Do higher level players (ie 30 and 31) do THAT much more damage than closer, yet lower level players (ie 29)? I'm still new to the cooperative scene on Destiny, so I was just wondering.
Does it have anything to do with the Level Advantages mentioned with Crucible?

For example, doing the final part of the thorn bounty is L30, meaning sure you can hold your own, but you will be handicapped by about 20% compared to the 30 and 31.....now, you also should realize it doesn't scale up, so the 31 isn't doing necessarily any more dmg against an end as the 30...
