I'm currently rank 18 with dead orbit solely because I want the shaders. I managed to get bittersteel as a reward for rank 9 and 10. Since then and before then I have only received a weapon/armor here and there and countless coins, shards, energy and cloaks. Considering the amount of time it takes to rank up it seems appropriate that the faction package loot tables and percentages be adjusted so it's not as much of a waste of time.
The cloaks that you can buy from the shop for glimmer should never drop in my opinion. I understand why the armor and weapons drop (random perks) and have a rng deviant gravity that is pretty nice. There are so many different ways to get strange coins, motes, shards, and energy that I don't believe you should ever get those as the reward either.
Ranking up a faction when it takes 2500 rep takes at least 2 days if you're grinding hard. There is too much effort involved to be getting 1 shard and 1 strange coin from a package.
Simply put It's annoying. Little stuff like this make me want to hate the game.
Please adjust the rewards. It would only serve to make the game that much more enjoyable for everybody

You mean the shaders don't automatically drop at rank 10? Whatever.. I don't care. I've Learned not expect to much from this game. I have a suspicion that the dark below dlc is going to be a failure as well. If that's the case then I think destiny is going to die off by summer 2015. This time next year they might just turn the severs off... So sad.
