At first I didn't really care about the whole REAL and FAKE 30's discussion until I played the raid today with a FAKE 30. He had 2 pieces of Raid gear and exotic helmet and IRON BANNER Guantlets. Everybody in the fire team seemed to know what they was doing until we got to the Confuxes he didn't even know you couldn't be revived! So I asked have you done the raid on hard? His answer was no when they said you could get to level 30 from iron banner gear I just felt no need to do the hard raid. We did finally finish but we had to carry him through.
I don't believe every 30 that had to do Iron Banner to get there is fake or bad but I finally see why people call them fake.
What are your opinions on the FAKE and REAL 30's?

The bitterness welling up in some folks that have been cracking out and taking a beating from the RNG monster for weeks and weeks in the VOG to hit 30 is so transparent. They simply can't cope with the fact that the IB way is a valid option not involving the beast. I would also wager that it is just the beginning of non RNG ways to level up so it will likely get worse before they finally realize/come to terms with the fact that they are the authors of their own fate. Me, I am not a fan of leaving things to chance and I am also not in a hurry. I am at my pre-DLC goal.
