I meant more on the XBONE train than the not being L20+ for all three classes. The grinding, I don't mind. Shooting respawning enemies is cathartic, and saving some of the unused junk to pass off on my other characters was a smart move to help them along.
Although, I will say, it does suck to jump in Crucible so late in the game with no help whatsoever (anyone I would fireteam with under a normal circumstance all have Ones, and do not yet... in fact, that's how I started playing- as a friend of mine decided to be nice enough to add my Live profile to his One when he got it, and I played Destiny a bit at launch.), and get totally pissed all over while carrying a largely ineffectual arsenal for PvP and shitty armor while trying to stumble my way around maps I am 100% unfamiliar with... and getting blown away as I repeatedly spawn in right in front of someone or right around the corner from the last guy who just shot me.
Unrelated to all that, I will say there are a couple of odd ticks with my experience:
1) When I started playing, I NEVER got a heavy weapon. Not one drop. Not one loot chest. Not one at the gunsmith. Not one from the Cryptarch. Nothing. Then, I more recently got the demo (before buying it for myself for "Christmas") and pretty much got bombarded with Heavy drops since. More than anything else, really. They usually all suck ass, but it's funny how I didn't start getting those until I STOPPED playing the retail version and hopped in the demo. I still get an inordinate ammount of Heavys, though. And they still usually suck. Meanwhile, I'd love to get a decent scout rifle, and this game seems to know that's what I want, and will give me every other standard gun on the planet, with a prediliction for Pulses.
2) I have no ship on the load screen. That same friend has the Legendary, so, as I'm on his box, I had access to the ship and ghost skin. I'm guessing it doesn't transfer out to anything other than another Legendary version, though, unless I'm just the only person who can't see it, so I'm essentially flying Wonder Woman's invisible plane if I'm playing at home, and I find this chuckleworthy, especially when flanked by a fireteam escorting my assumedly cloaked Klingon Bird of Prey.
3) Hearing Torres and Fillion greet my PC, I was dissappointed the Titan guard wasnt Tudyk. Why my brain went there first, I don't know, but it did.
