The problem with hard mode is that it's pointless. What's the point in getting past 300? 310? There is nothing in the game other than hard mode that you need above 300 for. It's also going to mean whoever can best hard raid mode will also be best in trials. It's dumb and pointless.

[quote]Seriously. The raid drops. It's week 1 of hard mode. Week 1. What is wrong with you people? [/quote] See that thing flying above you? That's the point going right over your head. Remember VOG gear? Getting it prepared you for future runs and hard mode because the raid armor had specific perks for the raid itself while the weapons helped you do better not only in the raid but also Nightfall, where there was still compelling exotics worth trying to obtain. Compare that to the gear now. KF-specific armor perks are garbage by comparison and the weapons have very little worth while on them - mostly just cocoon which isn't that great, tbh. And when you DID get VOG or CE gear, you didn't get it at some random light interval. You didn't run VOG only to get an inferior version of your raid chest that you already had. His point isn't about loot dropping too slowly, it's about the fact that loot is now a multi-tiered RNG sh*tfest where, if you're lucky enough to get loot you also have to be lucky enough for that loot to be a decent light level AND a decent perk roll. Edit: And it's pretty damn telling that most people I see who have completed the raid have used the raid gear to infuse NON-raid gear.
