I bought the DGE of Destiny last year, so yes. If you're thinking that "oh they used the Omnigul strike as the Nightfall and Heroic" is a valid argument, let me stop you there. The soft level requirement for it was 30, so when a vanilla strike was chosen anyone could play. On top of that, anyone could hit 32 with TDB, and nearly everyone was already 30. Vendor gear was purchasable by anyone, allowing them to hit 31 with all vendor gear even then.
