I dont give IB armor any more/any less respect than raid gear. Some players are not made for crucible, some players are not made for the raid. I see the difference as being a matter of being better suited for a specific area, but in the end, we all answer to RNG.

Well with Iron Banner you don't need RNG to get 2 pieces of gear, but you still need to do the raid to get atleast the head or chest armor to be able get level 30. Like me, my last raid gave me my gloves, and I have an exotic chest and helm, so after i get the Iron banner boots I still need either raid chest or raid helm to get to level 30.
