Same here. Being lvl 30 for the raid though is incredibly easier than lvl 29. I did the hard raid when I was lvl 29, I hated it since my shields would constantly be taken down from how weak I was. What I did was just do the hard raid once when I was 29 and then after getting the helmet I only did the normal raid until I had the full raid set to get to 30. So people wanting to do the hard raid should really just do the normal raid until they have the boots, chest and gauntlets with an exotic helmet, that way the hard raid is way more enjoyable for you and for everyone else in the Fireteam. It doesn't take too long to get to 30 when you have an exotic helmet. It's nice having hobgoblins be able to shoot you and not kill you instantly or not getting dominated by a Praetorian.
