I’ve been a solo player since September 2014. I agree with most of these threads. Yet it’s not impossible to achieve “Pinnacle” gear or quests without a team. I have the “Recluse”, Randy’s Throwing Knife, and currently completing the Luna’s Howl quest. ( I need 68 more precision Hand Cannon Kills) I have never been part of a “team” acquiring any of these pieces of gear. I’m an average PVP player, but achieved “Fabled” ranking as a first step while doing quests. I am married, with a young baby, and a full time job while completing a degree at a university. I am not at all bragging, and different people have different lives. I am writing this thread because even though Destiny is a team based game, it is very possible to achieve leveling, and gear. Unfortunately, it’s about the long and tedious grind. Good luck to you :)
