I didnt complete the raid this week but I beat three parts and got two chests I obtained both gloves and boots.
now like an idiot I got excited and deleted my vanguard gloves (kept the boots) before noticing... I need NEW shards for my new armor. i mean really? its a dlc not a -blam!-ing 10 level expansion with trading worlds to grind epic mats and professions to to for them. id have to hit this raid up every week until after the hard mode comes out to get enough and so far I only had seven.
further more what becomes of my 120 some odd ascendant shards? useless? so because I grind VoG when it was top dog and didnt get shit out of it, I still don't get shit out of it for all my hard work and glitched as hell gaming with randoms? honestly that's... sincerely frustrating.
this isnt dear bungie or hey I want to complain here it's just that im disgusted by the utter disregard for the players. from bringing out iron banner lvl 30 gear that went useless in two weeks to "buffing the vex" just to appease people when THEY KNEW it wouldn't matter the next week when stronger items came out, these guys are just being shady and personally I dont like them taking such a promising game and dangling it in front of us like this while we sprint in hopes of the next best thing.
sorry for the wall o text.
