Never thought I would say this but holy cow! It is way too easy to get into the raids now and the under-levelled weapons/lack of experience can be so frustrating.
Edit: I am talking about level 30 raids here. I would never talk this way about normal mode.
Edit 2: I am trying to be as un-elitist as possible, I will usually solo the nightfall each week and put a post up offering any lower levels who want to be pulled through, no problem, but the level 30 raids are a different animal!
Edit 3: Thank you to Cozyman Cam for this link explaining how a weapons attack affects your damage output in game http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/84047545/0/0/1
Edit 4: To the guy who is prattling on about getting 1188 kills in a single raid. This means
A. You were killing the endless mobs at the start to grow your e-penis.
B. You repeatedly wiped somewhere like the confluxes with your awful, underpowered weapon. 1188 kills in a single raid is something to be ashamed of.
Edit 5: This is not a discussion about gaming skill, some people are better than others and that's fine, this is a post about laziness, if you take a sub 300 weapon or no experience into a level 30 raid you are a selfish gamer, end of.
Edit 6: Hearing a level 31 say "Okay, so the three who can hold the relic get to the back of the arena, because that's who Atheon teleports." :-/
Edit 7: It is not cool to use The Last Word in a raid (I'm sure we can agree on that, at least)

I thought you didn't get weapon XP in raids...
-
I use non-upgraded shotguns in the first part of crota's end because I don't really upgrade my shotguns ever. I don't really feel like it matters though since they are just thralls.

Was having such a hard time on hard mode last week, after a couple wipes inspected some team mates and they were all running blue weapons. Im not a hardcore raider by any means but.....think, McFly! Think!
-
O i thought u meant it in a different way... My friends go in using good but not their best gear then after we die 10 times they say "ok im gonna switch to my better/best weps and armor now" and i say what the fook have you been doing this whole time

Edited by Elazul: 12/18/2014 7:03:18 PMMore annoying is being level 30 with 300+ guns and being denied because i'm not level 31. As such the only groups willing to accept me don't know what the -blam!- they are doing and I just end up wasting my god damned time without killing Crota.
-
Honestly me to. I've been helping people with the raid and going in and seeing that you have 6 31s but 3 of them have blue rare items and think there a god when really they just hole you back
-
I agree with you, as a player with only a handful 300 + weapons, I'm not ready to be of any use to my team. People that haven't been blessed by RNGesus or bought higher weapons need to think before joining a raid group. Your friends will be grateful for being honest with them, and they'll help you through the raid when you're ready, as a courtesy.

Edited by Stark Realities: 12/18/2014 7:06:03 PMPeople should put the damn effort into their guns before they think about stepping into CE. I mean, is it really that hard to finish a few bounties, and run the crucible/strike playlist for a bit? At least you could bring your weapons on par with the 300 attack vendor weapons that were available in September.

Level 31 matters more than Attack 274. Thus, they're right to prioritize light level over Attack ratings.
-
Working on them. But I bring my weapons of light to help up my dps.....
-
I have experience and can easily beat raid legit but my weapons are 274 dmg so what?
-
This is a post I can get on board with.

Seeing that in VoG is one thing. Seeing it in Crota is another. Should specify. I would be ok seeing it in VoG for example. Not ok in Crota.
