Beta player and only did VOG for the first time a few weeks ago. Never was a priority for me until I felt I had the right weapon load out for the raid and my weapons were maxed. Nothing like being "that guy" who rushed into raid when they weren't prepared. What is fun and appropriate progression is pretty specific to the person. So congrats to those who beat the raid on day 1 of its launch and congrats to those who are just now doing it and will experience it in the future.
