Should they let us BUY Raid gear?

Yes, this sounds like a good idea.

No, it should stay random.

Before you say "NO", just hear me out. Some people are experiencing frustrating in the Vault of Glass when it comes to getting to Level 30, or getting a specific weapon that they want. The RNG can be extremely frustrating in that regard, either giving you something already have 10 of, or just giving you lots of Ascendant Materials that you really don't need. So I ask you this; what if there was a special kind of Vendor in the Tower that sold all the Raid gear? And the only way you could purchase this gear is with a special kind of currency that is only awarded through the Raid (in addition to normal rewards), and requires you to have a specific rank (also obtained through the Raid) in order to purchase these items? Enter the [b][u]Raider Vanguard[/u][/b]. If this character were added to the tower, you could buy Raid gear from him if you get a high enough Raider Rank with him (there would be 10 Ranks) and enough Raid Marks (similar to Vanguard/Crucible Marks). You would get up to 100 Raider reputation and 5 Raider marks for each challenge you complete in the Vault of Glass. That amount would double if you play it on Hard Mode. So whenever you normally get rewards; the Oracles, the Templar, the Gatekeepers, and Atheon himself; you get the idea. Here's what I think you should be allowed to buy at each rank with the Raider Vanguard, as well as the cost. [b][u]Rank 1[/u][/b] [i]-[b]Atheon's Epilogue[/b] (65 Raider Marks) * * * -[b]Chatterwhite[/b] (10 Raider Marks) -[b]2x Ascendant Energy[/b] (25 Raider Marks) -[b]2x Ascendant Shard[/b] (25 Raider Marks)[/i] [b][u]Rank 2[/u][/b] [i]-[b]Hezen Vengeance[/b] (150 Raider Marks) * * * -[b]Cuirass of the Hezen Lords[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Warlock Class) -[b]Kabr's Wrath[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Titan Class) -[b]Prime Zealots Cuirass[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Hunter Class) * * * -[b]Glass Minuet[/b] (25 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 3[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Corrective Measure[/b] (150 Raider Marks) * * * -[b]Gloves of the Hezen Lords[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Warlock Class) -[b]Kabr's Brazen Grips[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Titan Class) -[b]Prime Zealots Gloves[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Hunter Class)[/i] [u][b]Rank 4[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Vision of Confluence[/b] (150 Raider Marks) * * * -[b]Tread of the Hezen Lords[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Warlock Class) -[b]Kabr's Forceful Greaves[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Titan Class) -[b]Prime Zealots Boots[/b] (65 Raider Marks/Hunter Class) * * * -[b]Aspect of Glass[/b] (25 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 5[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Praedyth's Revenge[/b] (150 Raider Marks) * * * -[b]Façade of the Hezen Lords[/b] (120 Raider Marks/Warlock Class) -[b]Battlecage of Kabr[/b] (120 Raider Marks/Titan Class) -[b]Prime Zealots Hood[/b] (120 Raider Marks/Hunter Class)[/i] [u][b]Rank 6[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Found Verdict[/b] (150 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 7[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Praetorian Foil[/b] (150 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 8[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Praedyth's Timepiece [/b](150 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 9[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Fatebringer[/b] (150 Raider Marks)[/i] [u][b]Rank 10[/b][/u] [i]-[b]Vex Mythoclast[/b] (150 Raider Marks/Completed Hard Mode)[/i] How's that sound? You'd still have to earn your gear... except "earning" it wouldn't be so dependent on luck with the RNG. Naturally, the Vex Mythoclast would be the hardest to unlock; requiring you to have completed the Raid on Hard Mode in addition to reaching Rank 10 and having enough Raider marks to buy it.
