Hard Mode Difficulty woes (Destiny)

That might have been my only chance to beat it on Hard and get loot given the upcoming tweak to the timestream :-(

Does anyone else around here think this game is too easy? I'm not saying I can play this like I play Tetris, but my first time through the vault was terrific for me because it was the first time I'd team-wiped several times in weeks. It's the first time I had flashbacks to Jackal one-shots on High Charity. The hardest thing in the game so far, and maybe the only thing. That's why it was also the most fun I had.

I kind of want Hard mode to be so hard it takes me months to beat. This is the thing that should be so hard that only a fraction of players beat it. If the point of this game is to become legend, I want to be able to see a guy walking around with that raid helmet and go 'damn, THAT dude beat hard mode'. I watched some guys beat hard mode in an hour and a half yesterday. Atheon took them 5 minutes, tops. I don't think randomizing the team is going to stop that kind of thing, and I don't think VoG Hard mode will ever be hard if you have the gear and the teammates to handle it. Is a shame that the only hard thing about Hard mode so far is the grind.

Also, badass job finishing on Hard mode! Wish I was at that level, I hope to get there in a couple months! I bet you get it again ;)
