You could have easily been carried through crota or nightfall. Other than VoG, there really isnt a single activity that isnt solo-able, and even with VoG, one needs only join a group with gorgon checkpoint to get loot for no work. Your argument that strikes are less valid, is invalid.

Ok, thats nice that you help others, but my post wasnt directly calling YOU out for being carried. I was using "you" as a general term for any players. Destiny is so exploitable in so many reguards that there really should be no shame for those who xurn, but I do understand that if he ever sold thunderlord, for example, I would get a bit miffed. But I only got it as a random Rumble drop anyway, and sure I came in first, but that was just a lucky match against new players. I didnt earn anything then. Bungie has proposed taking hours played as a variable in their rng, but untill that happens, IF that happens, there is no way to actively get an exotic you actually want than through xur. tl;dr The whole game is filled with exploits, and shouldn't we just be happy others are having fun? Red death week didnt burn the game to the ground. We will survive this too.
