The raid is recommended 370, and those other sources just aren't reliable for people who's life doesn't revolve around video games. I get maybe 1 piece of gear 1 light higher than something I've got already from any given source. So far, IB has been the only thing that's gotten me 2 better pieces of gear in a row.
Archons forge and vanguard packs were doing it for me at first, but lately RNGesus has been screwing me

Lol love the "I have a life excuse" Firstly, raid is easily done at 360. Heck, if you have high level friends or just lucky on lfg, you can get carried through while still in 350s or 340s. Said raid well net you a ton of higher level gear. Secondly, strikes have burns. Use them to your advantage. With friends you can breeze through a strikes in mere minutes. Leveling up eris once a week doesn't take more then 30 min cuz if bounties. Vanguard and cubicle boosters will cause rank up packages to be rapid. A 1 hr grind, or less once a day cab easily net u 2 levels up by the end of the week. Skeletons keys will nearly always give a boost. The exotic raid quest completion nets you a 390 weapon. Do 1 part of the quest a day. Not that hard to level up...

Nothing you just said has anything to do with RNG, but nice try. And having a life isn't an excuse, it's something that people who aren't kids or worthless adults do on a regular basis.

I'm full time time student. Lead administrator at my job. And primary guardian over my grandmother. I'm not saying you ain't busy, I'm saying other ppl have the same sht you do and can still level up. Additionally Rng is part of the game, deal with it. But certain aspects are highly likely to help you. I have yet to see anyone enter a raid and come out without getting higher level gear. Same goes for using a skeleton key. It's not hard to make friends with ppl with the same set up as you, I always play with parents cuz they have the same struggle as I do. This way, if I have to get up, dash away to do whatever my grandmother meeds, it's handled. If the boss calls and needs a report asap, it can be done. There's multiple ways to level up after a reset. It's your own choice if you don't do those things. Nothing I listened takes more then 2 hrs. Besides the raid, nothing takes more then an hr.

Preach it, dude. I've got work and school and still managed to level up just fine. :)
