I beat crota legit several times. It was hard, took a while to learn the best ways to do each section too. There were a lot of bad groups.. you know, the ones where people are running a 257 VoC, and a 260 something hezen vengeance. I cheesed him the other night though to help a group of friends that utterly stood no chance on even the bridge section. Just wait until they fix him. It will be just like atheon. People will be whining that he's too hard, impossible even on hard mode. This is where you and I will shine fellow guardian, with awesome raid primaries in hand.
