A question for the "earners" of Destiny
I'll preface this by saying that I don't care about your preferred method of attaining gear that gets you to light level 30.
There are "earners" who claim that the only /real/ way to reach level 30 is by equipping full raid gear. I would like to know why you feel this way. If you could provide insight as to why using exotics or iron banner equipment is a lesser way to reach the highest level, I am curious to hear your reasons.
To those who would post to simply dismiss these people for their beliefs, please refrain from doing so. I'd like to get a well reasoned reply as to why they feel this way and reduce any banter arguing the point.

Also, to equip full raid means you have had to at least beaten the raid on hard mode to which I say that in itself is an achievement and even if they were lucky enough to get the helmet on their 1st, 2nd or 20th time, they earned it (unless they cheesed Atheon, then gtfo). I got lucky with my hunter, I was level 30 after my very first raid getting all but helmet and using exotic helmet. Then I did the hard mode after and got Mythoclast on week 2, being one of the few people in game with it. Was I lucky as -blam!- with RNGesus? Hell yes I was, I was so blessed. However, I managed to complete not only normal mode at week 1, but hard mode as well, so did I and the rest of my team deserve our gear? You bet your sweet ass we did. However, those going for the light level 30 from Iron Banner, holy... I got my Titan to rank 4 just to get boots and gloves and I can promise you that anyone who does the Iron Banner for their light level 30 gear, kudos to you, you really do deserve that gear as it is no easy task to complete nearly 100 wins.
