They still set the enemies 25 levels above the players level. So i don't think they need to be any levels above pinnacle. Because regardless of what level you are, you still have to complete the activities. The high level requirements just felt like an arbitrary number to keep people playing. Now, whether or not the activities are as difficult as they should be is another conversation. I think they should be a little harder, but I don't think we should have to grind the same activities so long just to participate. I want going to play at all this season after gilding conqueror 3 times... but this is much more reasonable so I will be getting my 4th gilding. The grind was arbitrary and felt bad. Good on you bungie
