If you did the Lv 32 POE 1 time, you could buy that armor, upgrade your exotic and be a lv 33. That will make the next time easier. By now you should be a 34 solely by doing PoE lv 32. Past that, I do PoE all the time with random people from LFG. Honestly Lv34 isn't that difficult, and lv35 takes a tad more time. But it's manageable. Stop making excuses. Also, you didn't know the IB was this week? It's the first week of every month.
