Raids are not meant to be a Solo event. I'm primarily a Solo'er and I accept that I don't/Won't do them. High light level is not needed unless you are doing these activities and the gear is mediocre anyway.

It's been said every time a thread like this is started, and it's still true: [i]BY DESIGN, DESTINY IS NOT A GAME YOU CAN "COMPLETE" ALONE.[/i] There are many games out there that can be completed by solo players, Destiny is [i]NOT[/i] one of those. It's a good thing, it's diversity of choice. If you are a solo player, and for whatever reason you want to remain a solo player in a multiplayer game, [i]YOU[/i] have to accept that certain rewards are unattainable, you are [i]NOT[/i] entitled to have every group endgame activity emptied and made irrelevant because you want the loot without doing them. With D2's launch, Bungie tried to remove "envy and toxicity" from the game by making everything either randomly obtainable whatever players did, or irrelevant if it was too inconvenient to get. It was a naive experiment and made Destiny shallow, bland and lifeless. It boiled down to grinding public events because that was the most efficient way to get everything and level up. It nearly killed the game. All so it could coddle the problem solo player (not every solo player, the fragile problem player who wants everything to revolve around him). Endgame group activities need their own loot. Difficult activities need good loot. Shortcuts to this same loot, which solo activities would be, would make endgame group activities pointless. That's not Bungie screwing solo players, that's just an unavoidable consequence. Fortunately, you do not have to go it alone. There are clans, many LFG websites (including Bungie's own), XBox Live has clubs and LFG services, The100 is a friendly, free clan/LFG service. You have so many options to get teammates for one-off or regular games, options that have been sucessfully used by hundreds of thousands of players. All you need is out there, if you want it. If you want it. If you don't, it's [i]your[/i] self-inflicted problem.
