No, imo. First reason being the cryptarch making Legendaries into Rares, making the only real way to get Legendary items was Faction/Crucible/Vanguard using marks, BUT even then you had to be at least rank 2/3 to even buy anything. Lootcave was a good source for engrams but even then you'd be at the mercy of the cryptarch. QueensWrath was a good way of getting Legendary gear. (I got my first legendary helm from a bounty) IronBanner was good if you had gear to even compete. VoG had you want to tear you hair out if you didn't get a piece of armor you needed. (#Forever29) Same goes for Crota. HoW was weird, for lack of a better word. Etheric light made EVERYTHING relevant again. And introduced new ways to get gear like Trials of Osiris and PoE armor/weapon cores.
