I just want some Raid gear. That's all, Bungie. (Destiny)

These Chatterwhites aren't getting me any Light.

I have 44 Ascendant Shards in my inventory, just waiting.

4 normal mode Raid completions and I have only received 2 pairs of gloves. I have to wait a week between each attempt. No other armor in the game is useful to me, except maybe the Exotic helm I got because the Raid one is even harder to acquire.

Weapons, Armor--If it isn't purple, I discard it. Armor, if it isn't Raid, I Vault it. There is so much content in this game, and Bungie has made so much if it useless--and the 4 things I want requires I roll the dice, and I'm only allowed to do that once a week.

I would like to add that I too basically find greens and blues at this point to be useless. The higher I get the smaller the pool becomes. Something something math. That said... I have plenty of hadronic essence now.

Hang in there Pete. I was in the same boat as you till recently. If all else fails, you should be able to get something done if the Iron Banner turns out as Bungie has proposed.

I expect Iron Banner to return with, or very shortly after the Dark Below;

"We’re working on reigniting the flaming shield before the end of the year."

Let me back up a little bit;

"For a player and their group of six who beat Atheon on Hard mode, we'd like the Mythoclast to be a weapon they can continue to rely on in the next Raid, Crota’s End."

I feel like Bungie has given us a task (get the Mythoclast) that requires we do something (beat the Raid on hard) that is difficult to do without doing something else (getting level 30) that requires we do another thing (beat the Raid on normal) repeatedly (RNG) to get stuff (Raid gear).

And we have a deadline (when the next DLC drops).
