you've been through tough spots, difficult situations, and super powerful bosses. I think you've earned the right of vanguard, whether its nightfall's, raids, prison of elders, or some other end game content, you've out done Zavala, Cade, and Ikora. or maybe your just getting to those, id love to do some end game, with some vanguards, I personally have never beaten A raid, because my fire team has had some impatient veterans, or just not enough people, however I have gotten into nightfall's, being the only strike that challenges me anymore, and I have done 1, level 32 prison of elders, and would do more if fate allows it. by the way, you may be powerful but the crucible cant earn you the title of vanguard, just ask Shaxx.
