Well I must question what you're doing on a thread about being included in a fireteam for the hard raid. If you think it's about gear then you're utterly clueless. The hard raid is currently the most difficult thing to do in the game. There is an element of achievement and enjoyment in completing it. I dont see how you see doing the raid as repetition but are happy to do the same patrols, strikes and crucible whenever you're playing the game. To criticise a diffrent element of the game and call that repetitive when you have barely (if ever) played is just plain moronic. If you're happy to sit on your arse for more than a month getting your head kicked in playing crucible while you wait to buy some gear then power to you. Don't cry however when people are making fireteams for the raid and we're asking for players that have actually put effort in to make sure they're not a burden to the other 5 players.
