[quote]He can't get above level 30 either, so that means he gets stomped in the Iron Banner. (There's some Pay To Win for ya.) He can't get HoC and doesn't have G-horn, so it takes forever to find a VoG group that isn't full of the kind and intelligent elitists that we all know and love. [/quote] WTF? 1a) At 30, he shouldn't be completely stomped. He WILL be at a disadvantage though. More importantly, he should make sure his weapons are leveled up completely (preferably legendary). As a 31/32 I've been killed by people in the level 29 range. After ~5 levels off the top it becomes problematic. 1b) Previous Iron Banner's have sold 36 light Boots and Gloves. This Iron Banner sells 36 light Chest. Those, fully leveled, plus an exotic helmet gets your friend to not 31, but [b]32[/b]. Leaving that aside, the vendor gear (crucible or vanguard) he can buy has 33 light and will get him to 31, leaving IB gear aside. 2) People requiring HoC or G-horn for VoG are suffering from a cranio-rectal inversion and should seek medical health immediately. I'd suggest he find a PS3 clan to play with so he doesn't have to deal with Randoms anymore.
