Bungie, please reward skill a little more

I think it's totally cool that any player has the chance to pick up legendary engrams and obtain awesome gear--it makes the game exciting even for those who might suffer in the crucible or for those who don't obtain as many kills as others in strikes. But I think that one's chances of finding a legendary engram should increase a bit if they show some prowess. I'm not saying that I am the most skilled player out there--I certainly am not--but I do pretty well. I pull my weight in the crucible with a k/d consistently above 1 (while playing the objective), and I deal out some serious damage in strikes and missions. But after almost 8000 kills and 38 hours played, I have only encountered one legendary engram (and it turned out to be just a rare item). I honestly feel like Destiny is turning into a time sink for me without the rewards that I see others getting all around me. I like Destiny, and I want to enjoy it, but it seems like the odds are literally against me. I'm swarmed with an endless wave of uncommon engrams (I've come to calling them common engrams by habit) that I just dismantle on the spot. While others in my clan are getting excited over their new gear and the opportunities opened up by leveling up, I feel like I'm stuck and can't do anything other than endless grinding in order to have the remotest chance of progressing. I know a couple of others in my circle who feel the same way, and I'm pretty other Destiny players feel the same way. It's my hope that you can read this and perhaps tweak the game to offer a few more skill based incentives. If any of you reading this have suggestions for obtaining legendaries, please let me know.
