Why Are People Obsessed With Farming Engrams?
Everywhere I look on these forums, I see people complaining that they have been "farming engrams for hours and only getting uncommon or rare items". All these people looking for legendary gear, whining that the engrams they pick up do not give it to them. You people do realize that there are about 6 vendors on the Tower that sell legendary items right? 3 factions, a Crucible quartermaster, a Vanguard quartermaster and the guy that sells Crucible armor. I am saving to get Dead Orbit armor right now. I already have the chest and arms, and I will probable get the legs today. All of these people sell legendary gear that you can easily work towards, but instead you are all trying to "farm" engrams and hope that what you get is good. Seriously, if you spent as much time working towards these vendors as you did "engram farming", you would have legendary gear by now. How about instead of working towards luck, you work towards buying items from the vendors. It really isn't that hard. This is the second week of the game being out and I almost have a full Dead Orbit armor set.
EDIT: Ok, apparently people are taking this post the wrong way. I DO NOT HATE FARMING. Farming is apart of this game, just at it is in any loot heavy game. I enjoy getting engrams just as much as the next Guardian, and they are very useful. My post was specifically about people that farm for hours with no results, then complain that getting legendary gear is impossible. And the whole time, it is being sold in the Tower. Yes, you max out at 100 marks. Then by all means, acquire loot however you want, it doesn't matter to me. I was just trying to hush up the whiners who ONLY FARM engrams and get no results, then complain about how the game is broken; especially when it is for sale right above their heads.
EDIT 2: Seriously, do people not read these things? Now they think I hate engrams. For Gods sake, READ MY POST! I HAVE NO ISSUE WITH YOU FINDING ARMOR AND WEAPONS THROUGH ENGRAMS. I'M SIMPLY SUGGESTING THAT THE ENGRAM FARMERS SHOULD STOP SAYING THE GAME IS BROKEN WHEN THEY DON'T GET LEGENDARY GEAR EVERYTIME. THEY SELL LEGENDARY GEAR IN THE TOWER TOO.
EDIT 3: Aaaaaaaand I'm only realizing now that half these people are actually trolls....well I guess I broke my keyboard for nothing...

6 RepliesEven if you maxed out your crucible points last week, and yoru crucible points this week you still don't have enough legendary to get you to lvl 27 (which I'd say is the bare minimum for the raid, and since everyone wants to do the raid, everyone is scrambling for engrams) So, as of now, the ONLY WAY to get to lvl 27 is to have got legendary drops and be lucky enough to have it be for your particular class, and then be in a slow that you hadn't already purchased a legendary for. The odds of these things happening are slim to none. It's beyond frustrating to me that almost every single one of my friends has gotten mutliple legendarys and exotic weapons from random drops in the crucible. I've logged more hours than them, done better than them in strike missions, done better than them in pvp and hte sole legendary item I've got was a pair of boots. People are frustrated because in order to do an event they have been looking forward to, they must win the lottery. that's not fun to me. Doing well should be rewarding, and I'll have to wait till next week to be able to attempt the raid as there is no way I'll be lucky enough to get a legendary helmet. It also frustrates me that for some odd reason the good items are always given to the person on the BOTTOM of the scoreboard. Every single legendary item or exotic I've seen dropped has been to the person on the very bottom. How is that right? With that said, I still love this game. I'm sure at one point my luck will turn around and I'll be the one getting items and they will be getting crap. Within a few weeks I'll be able to attempt the raid myself. Guess I'll just have to be patient.
