As a person that use to run as a 29 in VOG hard mode let me explain the difference here (not that I care, had a level 30 try to do hardmode CE with us the other day, but I digress): In Vog hard if you weren't at max level you were only 1 level below before meaning you weren't do much less damage than other. IN CE hard you are 2 levels under and I solo'd the abyss and bridge as a 31 (check my second titan) 2 swipes from a thrall, 3 hits from a warlock, 4 shots from acoloyte, 3 seconds from an ogre, 1 hit from a sword bearing knight (regular, swordbearer, or gatekeeper) , and 2 boomer shots kill you. You take substantially more damage here than before. (Not saying don't look for a group, just be humble and know your way around things coming off as a hyped-up "I'm just as good as any 32" player is not the way to go). In Vog it was also a lot harder to get the actual pieces you need. After what I have seen it has taken people from week 1 to the present runs to get it and before there were people that WOULD NEVER GET THE PIECE THEY NEED (I still run hard VOG and still haven't gotten the helm, but got mythoclast). In CE however, the pieces seem to drop with each run. I literately had all the pieces I needed by my third run on my first titan (I have multiples, but don't use the cheap way to quickly get gear). With VOG you needed to have the time to do the raid. Even on the best of runs they could last at least 45 minutes and the worst so far that I have experienced was 6. CE is no where near as time consuming (best run was in 30 minutes worst 2 hours). I know it's not race, but honestly if you can't spare 30 minutes to 2 hours during the week to run then you might have a bit much going on in your life and video games should be the last thing on your mind. Again, not trying to be mean, but for the most part there really isn't a reason not to have at least 1 level 32 character at the moment, but if you are a level 31 know your stuff. A lot of people aren't trying to be assholes (not counting on bungie.net in other places) they just want to have a group that can deal out the most damage and take the least. I know that not all 32's are pros and everyone below that level aren't losers, your skill determines that. Most people need to learn that you need to show skill that matches your level (at least in the PVE areas).

I'm a level 32 (if you inspect me it says 31 because I'm leveling some new gear but I am a 32) I'm always willing to raid I've done crota well over 100 times just to help people add me and invite me whenever :)

Yes, there are nice 32s. I met this really chill guy while trying to do CE. Thanks to him we finished it.

I love helping lower levels
