[2021] It can't be stressed enough how amazing and healthy the 50 to 10 power level grind change has been for the game and the players.

This season has been my most consistent one yet from a play hours perspective, going all the way back to the Saint-14 season after Shadowkeep. The big similarity there is both seasons only had a 10 power level bump.

Being able to jump into higher level content (especially the ones that scale every season like Nightfalls and lost sectors) much earlier has been way more fun, not feeling like I have to wait until at least a month into the season to play the stuff I actually want to. As a result, I've found myself burned out a lot less and playing way more.

I definitely think the lower level grind on non-yearly expansions is one of the best changes they've made and will keep the playerbase more active and mentally healthy in the long-run.
