As a solo player, that makes 0 out of Nightfall, 0 from ToO, 0 from IronBanner cuz I'm a PvEer and 0 from the Nightfall. Bungie doesn't support solo players, lets face facts. To get to those higher lvl things, you need etheric lights. Basically you need etheric lights to get etheric lights, only available through multiplayer stuff. Those are facts.

Most Nightfalls are pretty easy to solo. If not, then use LFG for Nightfalls and PoE. Regardless of whether you like PvP or not you have the option to get Etheric Light their too, you choosing not to is not Bungie's fault. There is also a chance of getting Etheric Light as rewards from Queen's Wrath and House of Judgement. Destiny is predominantly a co-op/group experience, as a 'solo player' you are either going to have to rely on matchmaking or LFG sites. If you are not interested in playing with others then you have no need for Etheric Light to get to level 34, as all of the end game activities are group activities. Either find some reliable friends to play with, or go play a single player game.

I'm in a different boat, too. I didn't buy any of the DLCs, so I'm locked out of Nightfalls like half the time. I've gotten 1 to drop in Nightfalls and I bought 1 in Iron Banana. My Iron Banner experience was truly awful. Not even because of the gamelpay, I just truly despise PvP. I'm pretty mediocre, always somewhere in the middle. I just hate it and this most recent Iron Banner was my first experience with it. I got to level 3, bought my 1 Etheric Light, and never played it again. I didn't care how good the buffs got towards the end of the IB period. It was that unenjoyable for me.

I know exactly how you feel about IB. I tried it to get etheric lights because its the only way I could get some as a solo player, but being the only lvl 32 in a full lobby of lvl 34 in a gamemode where lvl advantage is on is harsh. I've had good games here and there, but nothing to truly enjoy the Thorn/Blink-shotty/rockets filled crucible that is IB.

I do not believe in nerfing anything ever...but those God damned Bladedancers need to be kicked in the nuts. And how -blam!-ing lame is Iron Banner, that it's just Crucible with level advantage and different rewards? Why haven't I seen more people bitch about that? It's basically exactly the -blam!-ing same.
