I've done the raid on hard as well as normal a multitude of times with more than one character. I know the Vault of Glass like the back of my hand, yet I know people that purchased the game while I was a level 29 and have surpassed me in rank because of the loot system in said raid. (This week was my 18th completion across various characters on various dificulties; I have gotten two pairs of boots so far.) I am VERY hesitant to buy the "DLC" to a game which has given me this sort of experience. I love Destiny, but I hate the loot system in the raid(s). Bungie should implement a system in which once a player has completed the raid at least ten times on any difficulty he or she should be GUARANTEED at least one armor drop at a random reward point within said raid. This will give those like me more incentive to play yet hender the happenstance of everyone being a level 30 with ease. In conclusion, I really love this game, but am growing angry with the helpless feeling I get when I see less dedicated players pass my level and get to 30. I'm still happy for them for beating the system, but it is still frustrating. I want this game to work, but right now it just isn't. THE IRON BANNER WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ME TO RANK 30! --Rant: over
