The raid is incredibly easy. Because of that and that alone I completely disagree with you so, no, not everyone you've spoken to agrees. I do agree about the shader but, the RNG is the RNG...I've been on 4 raids, 2 pieces of armor, 2 I got nothing but shards/energies in. -- The solution? - Raid more. The only path of advancement in Destiny is light. Light should be hard to earn. You can hit 28 WITHOUT raid gear...Which is perfectly fine but, you should NOT be able to hit 30 due to the fact the ONLY reason to really hit 30 is the hard raid. - Nuff said.
