Which is harder, VoG Hard or Crota Normal? (Destiny)

Assuming you're going in at raid-par level (VoG hard at 30, Crota normal at 30) I'd say VoG Hard mode is way more difficult. The Templar fight requires rock-solid play from the relic holder, and heavy damage from the rest of the team. The Atheon battle can take a lot of time to figure out because there are so many different roles to fill (plate-holder, relic carrier, oracle killer, etc) and everyone on in the group needs to be ready to fill every single position at a moment's notice. If just 1 of the people who get teleported don't know what to do, it can be a disaster.

Crota, meanwhile, allows more clear-cut defined roles for everyone to play. Everyone has their moment to step into the spotlight with the bridge section, but if 1 person drops the ball it is still possible for the rest of the team to recover and carry on. The most difficult part overall is the deathsinger, but again it only takes a couple people who really know what they're doing to carry the rest of the group through.
