Bungie, please accelerate Raid gear distribution. (Destiny)

1. Create two new characters of the same class and run the raid 3x a week.

I started a second Warlock. It's currently level 12 and I don't know if I feel like grinding it the rest of the way. When I load it up I just keep thinking that this is not the way Destiny is meant to be played.

2. Run it on hard mode. Loot drops are separate between difficulty levels.

The last time I tried hard mode, the only weapon I had maxed was Atheon's Epilogue. It was less effective than I would have liked. I've put my focus on maxing out my scout rifle, void shotgun, and void heavy machine gun. They're all within 3-4 upgrades of max now. I suppose since everyone is telling me 29s can do it, getting these weapons to max might help make it happen.

Are there any checkpoints before the Oracle sequence during the Templar fight? We kept losing people while defending the central conflux, I can't imagine getting all the way through to the Oracles without any second chances.

I sure would love Fatebringer and Vision of Confluence, and a few other weapons, but not enough to do number 1. The question is really whether you are now having fun, or if it's all about gear.

If it's about gear, you should just put the game down in my opinion, since you are bound for further wasted time and disappointment. Easy to say maybe since I reached level 30 weeks ago, but I did so without trying for gear; it was just a consequence of me having a good time with the raid.

I agree, fortunately I am having fun. When I find myself not having fun, like when I'm grinding a second Warlock and questioning things, I stop and switch to a different activity that I enjoy.
