Curious if like with D1 we'll have to stick with strikes and other end game daily/weekly missions, get gear with light, and only once you're at a certain light level is it recommended to do the raid.
Every zone has tokens you earn through doing activities there (public events, high profile targets, patrol beacons, lost sectors, opening chests) that has a rep to turn them into for gear rewards. Destroying anything blue quality or above gives you tokens to give turn in to another person as well. Not to mention the activities themselves are still rewarding upgrades aside from the tokens (I'm around 245 power/light I believe?)
Not to mention even though I've finished the main campaign there are still many voiced adventure missions to do, many of which don't even unlock until after the campaigns conclusion. The Nightfall unlocks at 230 power, and flashpoints (which is just go to a zone and do public events there, this reward has a weekly cooldown separate from the rewards form doing public events themselves which always provide rewards) provide high end rewards aside from all of the above.
