Don't worry, man, I've been there too. How to get out of that grind lies in the Tower. Dead Orbit, FWC, New Monarchy, Vanguard, and the Crucible dudes is the key for getting past the hump. Pick one, it doesn't matter, and buy a cloak/mark/wristband thingie from them and level your rep with that faction up! Once you reach a level two or higher with whichever faction you wish, they will have complete sets of legendary armor for sale. To level up these guys, do as many bounties as you can. Always make sure your wearing their emblem and earn those Crucible marks! That was how I cracked level 25 after almost a month stuck there. It only took me about, eh, six hours over two days to level my Dead Orbit faction up. I wish you all the luck in your endeavor! Happy hunting!
