I have almost completed this task. I acquired my first piece of LL 400 gear today from a strike bounty. I am almost there. I can do this. I went up 3 LL. The grind is almost complete.
And I have done this without doing a single trials of osiris or raid ever.
(also, I have a suspicion that the strike elite gear can get you tier 12 stats)
Just sharing how my day went.
EDIT: I'm required to say I'm trending. .-. Hey top of the list! ;)
EDIT AGAIN: Also making a community defender montage, see this:

I to am a solo player trying to get my light score up to 400. I am currently at 398. I read the negative comments about missing out on the best part of Destiny. I absolutely LOVE this game. I solo it because I'm an older gamer with no friends that play Destiny. I picked it up because I had heard so much good feedback about the game. Four months later I have played every day and have over 1000 hours easily in the game. The only missions I'm missing are the King's Fall Raid and the Wrath of the Machine mission obviously because they require a Fireteam. Destiny wasn't easy to learn. It took hours of pain staking trial by error, YouTube videos, web searches and just asking to learn what to do. After so much soloing I was finally forced to fight in the Crucible and complete Strikes and take part in the Iron Banner. And that was and is some of the best part of Destiny. But I have tried to get people to let me join in with them so I can complete the King's Fall Raid and Wrath of the Machine whether it be a message or through a LFG site and people just don't want a "newbie" or a "pug" on their team. So unfortunately some of us are stuck soloing. To those of you who responded negatively. It's not for trying. Destiny is by far the greatest game I have ever played. I'm a few pieces away from a 400 light score for my Titan. Destiny is an awesome community. It's just hard sometimes for the solo guy to access the community.
