So once again we are here because Bungie stepped in the bucket. It is ridiculous that they set such a low level cap for a game that is supposedly to last 10 years. Seriously did everyone think that 30 was going to be it. They compounded their error by having no matchmaking leaving anyone with something other to do besides spending hours and hours in front of their tv without even the option to attempt the Raid. They went even further in making the Raid the only avenue open for progression beyond 29 with the exception of the IB. Which was a limited time event which brings us back to only being a viable option if you have nothing but time to play a video game. If options had been put in place to offer other avenues to progress your character other than what is currently being offered we would not be having this discussion or put up with stupid post from "true 30's", "level 30 master race" ect ect Let's remember we are all playing the same game,dealing with the same crap RNG. Yes the Raid is hard and doing it as many times as it takes to get to 30 does take a lot of work. Let's also remember that getting to 29 is a grind and competing in the IB for as long as it took to get those few pieces to get you to 30 was equally hard. You are NOT special. You are NOT unique and you do not possess some awesome skill set that sets you apart from anyone else. This is a GAME and all level 30 signifies is that you have more TIME to kill than the other guy.
