If I think Bungie has hosed anything up is their mixing of rating (also know as item level) into various statistics. At some point in Destiny player levels stop being levels and become a rating of your overall power potential. Attack listed on guns isn't so much damage but a rating of the gun's overall potential; impact is truly the weapon's raw power. MMOs traditionally separate ratings from every other attribute to prevent the kind of confusion this system can create. Ratings usually exist to allow you to know when a certain piece of gear is overall greater than, less than, or equal to another

Apparently, there are two leveling systems at play that contradict some of what I was musing on in my previoua post. The traditional leveling system stops at 20. You can move past that soft cap by equipping gear that allows you to attain motes of light (think that is what they're called) that act as a new form of experience, allowing you to move past level 20.

Trying to understand this a bit more. So you are saying the "leveling" after 20 are gained from equipping gears? If 20 is the "normal" cap, I guess that each class will only have 2 subclasses instead of 3 which I originally hoped. |

Certain pieces of gear unlock a new type of experience which allows you to level further. |
