Yeah, I made it to level 29 and then, finally, got a piece of raid armor so I equipped it and it sent me back to level 28. I'm eligible to fully upgrade that piece of armor right now but still need shards! So I'm hovering at the 28/29 mark right now. One more upgrade should put me to 29. The downside is that in order to hit 30, you have to do the raid until you get all the armor. Drives me nuts because I enjoy the raid but I really don't want to grind the raid, there's enough of that already.

Well they need to hurry! I think people's attention spans are waning with this game right now. Maybe the expansion/DLC will pull people back in, but there's a lot of new stuff coming out right now from other sources so the competition is getting stiff. Got my Halo collection yesterday and spent almost an hour and a half playing that instead of Destiny. I'm seriously considering dropping both of my exotic bounties because I'm having a really hard time getting myself to play Crucible. I'd rather stick Titanfall back in to my Xbox if I want to do PvP stuff.

I've run the raid 3 times, but only got loot for 1 and a half of those runs, grabbed energy/shards, raid chest, praedyth's revenge (sniper), chatterwhite, atheon's epilogue and the raid hunter cape.

Am I the only one who's desperately short on ascendant energy? I have 5+ guns sitting at 267dmg with all the exp maxed and mats farmed, just waiting for energy.
I swear this game does opposite things for people. I can't seem to get anything on the raid but I do Nightfall and get at least 1 legendary piece of gear each time.

I'm still stuck on level 28 since the only thing I play is crucible when I'm actually on Destiny. Which isn't as often anymore.
Yep, I keep getting energy and not shards. I need shards!

I still am half-suspicious that this game doesn't track your playing habits and then reward you with stuff you don't use. I was an auto rifle guy from the start, my very first legendary weapon? A hand cannon. At least I've come to appreciate and actually like my hand cannon, but I swear this game gives you stuff that it knows you won't use and/or like. I've got a legendary fusion rifle sitting in the vault that I've seriously been considering dismantling cause I just don't use fusion rifles. I picked up a legendary pulse rifle from the Nightfall last night, actually thinking about dropping my Bad JuJu bounty now because not sure I will use/need 2 pulse rifles.
