Ok I can say this, why did you waste your motes of light on a faction when you could've done the story and extended quest(THAT LEVEL YOUR LIGHT UP) to be able to do the raid. I am like rank 7 in dead orbit and got a nice helm from them from a package randomly. I used the rare engrams to get helms that are higher light to INFUSE into my helm. Before you bash on the fact that you wasted your motes of light for a faction, try to play they game. Not calling you a cheater, but those who cheat at life receive little. Its understandable that you grinded for motes of light, but it is beyond comprehension that you as an individual wasted your time in a game to just level up a faction. Do you know what infusion is. If you get a weapon or armor that has higher light than your favorite legendary item, then you can infuse it into the favorite item to increase the legendary item's light. Boom, that's how you play Destiny 2.0 now.
