I've spent the past hour or so trying to get into a hard mode raid so I can get some better gear, but every group says "Oh go get some better gear you -blam!-ing scrub," then there's the boot.
How am I supposed to get better gear if you won't let me participate in the parts of the raid that are 300 light (Warpriest and Totems)?
And before anyone says, "Oh you're a scrub, go back to playing normal mode," feel free to check all of my characters on Xbox and tell me I don't know how to run the raid.
Edit: thank you to the Destiny community for restoring my faith that there are those that want to help others, you guys are great.
Edit 2: For others in my shoes, I have made a thread in recruitment for 315- participants and for sherpas to help out those that need some help

Edit 3: Ran various checkpoints of the raid, and managed to beat it, alongside getting a 320 Ghost on my very first Hard Totems CP.

I have been through the raid once on normal, and got a sniper rifle. Other than that, everything that got my light up, is from doing trials, iron banner, crimson doubles and sparrow racing. You CAN get higher light without raiding. It just takes longer. I just get so sick of everyone complaining about it being impossible to gain light because noone will carry them through the hardmode raid.
