Wait a minute... (Destiny)

Banana's comment made me laugh. You already have light enough to hit level 34 and upgrade several weapons. There is no need to grind PoE for more light unless you want to kill more 34/35s in PoE. These are Pokemon instincts, as someone said. There is no need to have guns do MORE damage to atheon. Heck, purists might say that the fight was intended to use 300s and we should do it that way.

So there's something wrong with wanting to upgrade my weapons further?

All along, Destiny's main hook for player progression has been to give us ways to make our Guardians more powerful. Now I'm suddenly in the wrong because I want to keep doing that?

Not to mention the fact that as someone who plays a lot of Iron Banner (and now Trials of Osiris, too) I actually DO need to upgrade some gear just to stay competitive?

Even if that wasn't the case... Maybe I want to use certain weapons that have been left in the dust by the expansions? I love my Atheon's Epilogue, but the 300 version just doesn't hit hard enough for me to use it during more difficult missions.

Sorry if I seem a little aggregated, but I take issue with people saying "you're silly for wanting to upgrade your gear" in a game that is 80% about the grind to make your character more powerful.
