Is Crota Hard Mode ultimately worth the trouble? (Destiny)

I don't think I was actually the one that first said it, but yeah -- it's frustrating. We beat it last week and shoulda had it a few times last nigh, but I don't know how much "easier/faster" it's going to get until we're over-leveled. This is the big problem with the main point of "hardness" in this raid coming from the "artificial" difficulty of just making us be a level beneath every enemy in the encounter.

I'm actually ok with that part of it... it's not the level 33 enemies that are killing us. We're dealing with them just fine. It's all the random crap.

That's why I don't actually think being over leveled would help. Crota will still kill us in 1 hit, the sword will still vanish, and we'll still be bleeding heavy ammo :(

No, but not being under leveled will help.

Yeah, that - and by being "properly" leveled against Crota it won't take 18 "R2s" to get him down - meaning we'll have a little more margin for error (and even a little extra margin for error in this encounter will make a huge difference).
