Good for your friend. I have yet to play the Raid "legit" (have been soloing with a Hunter" and I've made it to Ir Yut but since I haven't been blessed with a Gjallarhorn I've been forced to stay there. I have yet to meet Crota. All my friends already have their own groups and so so never get to play it with others. Would really like to play it but sadly everyone wants to get a checkpoint or exploit him out and that's not something I'm comfortable with.
