So here is what I think...for what it's worth if TDB has shown us anything we will be able to purchase vendor gear to get to 33 in HOW; what this means is you have PLENTY of time to knock out crotes on hard. To those of us still at 31 (damn raid boots!) this means we should all take a second and relax. Yes, as of right now it is hard to find a group to do hard mode Crota but in a month and a half we will be able to run hard mode for the weapons no problem. I know asking people to be patient is darn near impossible here but really if those of us stuck at 31 for the time being just chill out and keep running normal mode we aren't missing out on much of anything. Do I want to run hard mode? Yes! Of course I do, but being 31 I know it is going to just be a frustrating pain in the butt to both find a group and complete the content. Those weapons aren't going anywhere and will still be very useful in HOW when that drops I'm cool with waiting like 6 weeks and understand why people want all 32s TL;DR If you're level 31 like I am, and I've played since beta, we have plenty of time to run hard mode it just dropped YESTERDAY
