No offense, but it was a lot harder to reach level 30 back when the VoG first released than it is now. If you're not at least level 30, you should at least try VoG on normal and learn how to run the raid. Plus you will get better weapons on normal than what the Vanguard will sell anyway. I don't mind level 29's, but I've noticed those are the first ones to die because they don't know what they're doing in the first place.
