I'm in the same boat in terms of weapons. I sorta forced my own luck in terms are armour. Playing through crota 3x a week. Twice a weak as warlocks. Until I 32'd a character. No amount of encouragement and prayers to the rngesus has given me a ghorn nor a hunger of crota as of yet. And people are a bit hesitant letting you in with 'truth'. They also say and I quote 'people who have beaten crota on hard already only. The team I beat crota with yesterday. Not a single one of us had beaten crota on hard beforehand. People set there standards to high and are so unwilling to help.
