You earned your stripes in the Iron Banner for the armor you needed to become a level 30. Coming from someone with a character that did both, I congratulate all 30's and those close.
Who cares how they "earned" their armor. We should be stoked for others progression through the game, not create some stupid debate to make you feel better or above someone.

Only piece I needed for 30 was a chest. Run raid too many times to count, and IB didn't have one.

The destiny community.....Where the term "Real 30" exist.

My hat is off to anyone who either fought RNGesus or suffered through IB. I finally inched into 29 and just called it quits. I likely won't raid because I play with my wife and our friend and my wife doesn't want to play with people she doesn't know. Really this whole 30 thing, IMO, is an example of further poor design on Bungies part. Progression needs to be evened out with multiple paths weather you are doing PvP, PvE, 6 man, 3 man or solo. There should be a path for everyone in any given play style.

im a "fake" and luvvin it :D

Iron banner boots are a lil better too. Granted U don't get an extra 2 rockets or however much machine gun ammo, but you don't have to deal with the glitch where you lose heavy ammo every time you die because of a glitch with the reserve rounds.
-
I did kinda enjoy my IB gear more. I hated every second of IB, but I actually knew that it would eventually pay off. Raid is fun, but if all I needed is that one piece of gear (gauntlets), and I'm not getting it no matter how hard I work, it takes alot out of it (granted I only made 5 attempts at the Raid, but I didn't want to be abused by RNGesus)
-
Kudos to anyone who dealt with the garbage that is IB solo. I got to rank 3 and realized I'd rather be level 28/29 forever than continue torturing myself against tryharding 6 man premades of max levels with exotics. What a horrible event.

WHAT?! this is a video game?!!! Blasphemy!!!! kill the nah sayer!!!!

Thus this man breaks the trent of real and fake 30s. Bless your soul good man. Finally people with a sense of reality lol. I mean really in the end battling RNGESUS is actually earning your gear. You just don't know when u will obtain it. But if you burn the raid every week in hope that's putting the work into it.

Exactly

Agreed, the only earning associated with this game is the earning one did to be able to buy the game : )) lol
-
you are deserving of the title " SIR" i salute you, my fellow gentleman! good day SIR!
-
If you actually played in IB then you earned your gear. If you just went afk, hid in the corner and/or had a KD of less than 0.5 then you're the ones who make IB gear look bad. That said between glitching and getting carried, raid gear doesn't mean that much either.
-
I know bro I hated IB suffered through it got all IB gear for all 3 toons, they look way better then all my raid gear. Ps was all 30's before IB...
-
Just 9 days ago I hit lvl 30 on my 40th raid , I have seen so many friends hit 30 be for me and they don't even play that much , I feel that I earned my lvl 30 , I guess now the only real way to tell if some one is good it to see how many maxed out guns they have .
-
I am one of the very close...My hunter is short the chest piece. I bought the IB gear and I hope it shortens the amount of weeks I have to wait for 30. I haven't gotten any gear after 6 raids and I will probably get a full set the next raid I do.
-
30 is 30. It's that simple. If you have raid armor that grants additional heavy ammo or special ammo then you are (like me) at a loss when you die because the game takes whatever bonus they gave you from you each death.

Edited by BLAZE: 11/25/2014 6:37:29 AMdestinys rng is very forgiving compared to any other games with rng. you have people in here who have only done the raid like 20 times and expect to have everything. shit is stupid. the problem is the type of people buying and playing destiny. stupid
-
Been trying to get boots for my Hunter since the raid started. Grinded for 2 days to get the Iron Banner boots. I bet as soon as I raid tomorrow I'll get boots on my first drop -.-
-
Truth.
-
Two raids for my warlock to get to 30. Iron banner titan at 30. My poor Hunter is still short gloves after count less raids.
-
Pesonally I hate the RNG system cause I have done the raid over 20 times( about 10 times I had a reset) and I still only have got the gauntlets 3 times, the boots twice and preadyths revenge
-
Or die a hero :D
-
It doesn't bother me if Rng got you to 30 or u played through iron banner to get it. What does bother me is that I've got boots and gloves from the raid multiple times and I just need the dam body or helm to get me to 30 on my Titan. RNG can suck ma ballz
