The new soft cap, what you can get to from powerful rewards, is 960. Or they could not increase the power cap, making it more important, but then creating an entire season full of nothing but a pinnacle grind. A 10 power increase to the soft cap, 950 to 960, can easily be done in a week. Bungie has struggled with the power grind for Destiny’s entire lifespan, and where we are now shows that’s still happening to this day. My own personal opinion is that I think the pinnacle grind is pointless and has created more problems than it’s solved.
