This is SO "scrub-like" - I started playing after Crota came out...
Now, VOG sounds like it was absolutely crazy for Day One players who are trying to work out the dynamics.
Crota is a bit more straight forward, but even then there are dynamics that need understanding.
So - who works out the dynamics? Normal people? Or 'insiders' post info on how to achieve it? Who was the first to do Vault Of Glass / Crota's End? What are we to expect? Lots of frustrated forum posts, for sure - but the rest?

Do the story and quests first, get all your new gear, then do the raid.
