I do too. I still reroll some pre-HoW IB weapons, so I don't mind the Ascendants. Mostly, I just do it to break the monotony and to help newer players/friends. But you are right...I wouldn't call them bad, more inexperienced. Some great hand-eye coordination and general gaming skillz, but not the knowledge of the raid. It's easy to forget how daunting the first time we did Atheon was for all of us.
