Anybody who says "so and so are not real level 30's" is just a douche. Maybe I don't have Iron Banner gear because the upgrades on them sucked compared to my current gear, because I didn't want to grind out the last bit of reputation needed to buy them in a game mode I find dull (and over saturated with kids using shotties), and most of all, because I had Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age Inquisition to play instead of boring ass PvP.
If the number next to your name says 30 then you are a true 30. Doesn't matter what combo of gear you are using (I know from personal experience RNGesus is a real asshole, and being able to purchase 30 Light gear is great for a lot of people, and some might prefer the skills/look of one set of gear over the other).
Yea I know was being sarcastic. Everyone in destiny is so hung up on how other people get there rank and gear its retarded. I thought this game was about teamwork, but to many people just wanna find something to argue about with each other. I play pvp and pve equally, and enjoy both. But raiding is my favorite.
Lol sorry sometimes it's hard to recognize sarcasm over the internet (and so many people on here are incredibly dumb). Yeah I agree Raiding is the best thing in the game. It's sad that everyone is being so lame about "oh you aren't a true level 30" or "all level 30s are douchebags" and so on. The community is very divisive, which is why I'm glad I have a good group of people I play with to make the game more fun.
