You don't do well in the Raid if you don't already have decent weapons and gear unless someone carries you. And you're playing for a CHANCE at Raid gear. Many have completed the Raid multiple times and have gotten 1-2 pieces at most.
I like that these 2 can say they ran it a few times and not be a cry baby about only getting shards 1st time for me was one piece and then all shards and energy for the second 3rd time with a diff character got 3 weapons no more armor but I am having fun. I ask you RNGeesus give these 2 gents a piece or 2 in their next runs. Good luck guys!!!!
I almost got into the farming vanguard tiger strikes, then I did the raid for the first time last night. It is all about that RAID ARMOR. Now I have gloves that are worth maxing out.
