Try the loot cave. Really though you can farm marks and rep to rank (2) Vanguard so you can nab the gear. Rank (3) for weapons. Not trying to be a Desticle but if you have played since launch your account doesn't reflect it. If you feel it's garbage don't waste your time grinding. It's probably not the game for you. If you wish to Raid you have to put in the work to get there just like everyone else did.
