Just going to throw this in here...Crota is a crap raid and I agree it should have been much harder to get the gear. Vault of Glass was a raid that made it worth it. However, Iron Banner should in no way be the only way to reach 32. I suck at PvP and was able to fully level Iron Banner in two days so yeah...it's not as hard as you are making it out to be. It is a system that makes it fair for both strictly PvE and PvP players. When you solo vault get back to me.
