95% of players that have beaten the raid and already obtained the exotic were only able to do so through the numerous youtube/internet videos and guides made avaliable mere hours after the raid became active.
Kids talking about how they "earned" their raid emblems and exotic. Lol.
When you cheat on an exam and get 100% I dont think you "earned" it. Same principle here.
Congrats to all those that went in blind and actually did earn their victory.

I would love to do the raids/quests blind but sadly I just do not have the time. In order for me to obtain the gear and be ready for IB, nightfalls, etc, I have to read guides and try and beat the quests as fast as possible with my limited time to play.
