[2019] I am enjoying the focus on seasons and the annual pass, but the grind for light every season is burning me out

So far I am enjoying the annual pass, but I am really burning out of grinding to max light again this season.

I am really disliking the weekly milestone system and how it is implemented. Here are some of the main flaws imo and some improvements.

Main flaws: I am tired of grinding the same milestones every week since the beginning of Forsaken. This is third season now and it has become too much of a chore. A lot of the milestones force me into playing parts of the game I dont enjoy, such as heroic adventures and story missions. Other milestones I am burnt out on, such as the ascended challenge which I am burnt out on trying to get the cosmetic for the last 6 months.

Another main flaw for me is lack of protection on getting dupe powerful rewards. I get to play for 3 hours a night. Tonight I spent a while doing the 5 crucible matches and 3 gambit games. The crucible rewards dropped in slots which didnt give me an increase in power because I also had a prime engram drop earlier in the same slot. I just kinda felt like why did I just spend an hour or so grinding this tonight? I feel like my evening was wasted. This has been a problem since the beginning and I am beginning to feel a bit bitter towards it.

My final issue is the fact I hate my guardian looking like a hobo for the 3 or 4 weeks it takes for me to hit max light again. The enhancement core economy is too scarce, there arent enough to keep leveling up my actual good looking gear with end game perks. So I'm forced to wear my crucible pants with my gambit top to be at my max level lol. I look hideous.

My suggestions are: Let me level playing the parts of the game I enjoy. I know your philosophy towards leveling is based on a certain length of time played, but I'd rather spend that time leveling up through crucible than daily missions and adventures etc. You need to stop the focus on 'busy work' and let me level up playing the parts of the game I enjoy. If someone wants to spend 20 hours a week playing gambit because that is what they enjoy, they should still be able to level up from it.

My other suggestion is to implement a transmog system so we can actually look good while we level, and beyond. If you decide against this, make it easier to infuse gear while leveling up. Reduce the enhancement core cost for infusion for items below max light. It should only cost that much to infuse an item if you are infusing it to max level.

Thanks for reading.
