Pff if you haven't done the HARD MODE raid by now you're a noob. If you're on these forums and have been playing this long then you would know about all the sites, clans, and forum posts where you can find people to play with. If you haven't taken advantage of all that it's your fault If you've been playing since launch and you're still not lvl 29, you're a noob. You haven't figured out the system enough to efficiently level your guardian. Don't give me the "I have a life" excuse. I have a full time job, a girlfriend I spend a ton of time with, gym membership which I take advantage of daily and lots of friends I hangout with on the weekends. I've done the hard mode raid several times now. I've also made upwards of 20 new friends that play regularly through joining a clan. I always have people to raid with and I only have three real life friends that have destiny. Git motivated and git gud. If you're one of those people who wants to do it, stop making excuses and get it done if you are so eager. If you don't care at all about the raid then power to you but you're missing out on one of the most interesting experiences available in gaming
