You have almost a full uninterrupted month worth of hours logged on this game and you can't get etheric light? Maybe it's just not the game for you lol. Plus it's kind of hard to listen to you bitch about not having the time to play enough after seeing that lol. Sounds like life got in the way during the HoW update and someone's angry they can't keep up anymore. I like having a challenge in a game, it keeps them worth playing. Plus you don't even need etheric light if you just focus on getting the armor core items. He had arms, chest, and now a helm. With an upgraded exotic you'd be at 34 right there, if you didnt choose 3 warlocks lol. 3-4 weeks to max out your level with very little skill required. How is this difficult? Even without having etheric light to upgrade your weapons, if they have 331 attack then you should be fine in most situations. I have less total time played than you, and have been taking it pretty slow with the HoW content and still managed to get my warlock to 34. Once I give my extra armor core to my hunter he'll be at 34 as well. I work and have a life outside of destiny and got here in my spare time. You need people to play with? You're obviously familliar with the forums, Go to the lfg section and find people to play with! That's how I found my clan and the people I play this game with the most. You can't just expect every game to be easy and fit into your daily schedule. If you can't handle the darkness, maybe you should head towards the light lol.
