I believe true lvl 30s exist, true lvl 30s are ones that have 10+ raid completions, spent the time in iron banner to get their gear and have done the raid atleast once or all the time without cheesing the Templar and oracles.(Anyone who pushed Atheon off more than once was a filthy cheat.) and to all those 29s out there with 10 or more raid completions you deserve a lvl 30 too.

I'm lvl 30 and only have done the raid 3 times... Guess what... I'm still a true lvl 30 too haha.

There is a grimoire card that keeps track of raid completions, also by true lvl 30 I mean someone who deserves a lvl 30. My friend had 47 raid completions before iron banner came out, yet he still wasn't a lvl 30 because no raid boots were ever given to him

My friend acquired all 3 pieces of raid gear in one go for his Titan. Was his second run. So it might be a little hard to know based on completions.
