No. My first completion, after sifting through an unbearable amount of unskilled and unknowledgable randoms, here's what I earned: 1.)Glowhoo (expected, but a nice way to prove worth to others) 2.)Raid helm (worthless, as I had 2 already and this one rolled the same perk, but with strength. Useless for my lock's setup.) 3.)Patience and Time (again, worthless. I had 2 already and scrapped them both.) That's it. So after numerous hours of time and synth, sticking around in groups, hoping they would pick up on the strategy and getting a rhythm going, basically wasted maybe around 15 to 20 hours on just Crota, that is my deserved reward. Ok, fine, I know what types of teams to look for, the search continues to knock it out on my other lock. I go through two bad groups and on my 3 lfg group I see these guys know what they are doing, we get a rhythm going quickly and knock Crota out in maybe 5 attempts. My rewards: 1.)ANOTHER raid helmet. (Rolls same perks, AGAIN, with more strength, AGAIN. WORTHLESS.) 2.)5 Radiant Energies. THAT'S IT. I know too many people that have gotten at least one primary drop from Crota. I can't even get Abyss Defiant to drop from all three characters. My hunter remains my only one to not complete hard mode. He is 31. Here's hoping to I don't get shafted for the 3rd time in a row. Good luck to all you other first timers.
