What I do not like is that once you reach a certain level, all enemies have the chance to drop legendary. Yesterday I was bullying lvl 2's for a bounty and after 50 kills, I got 2 legendary engrams. They should at least keep it to a certain lvl enemy and above drop them.

I have played "A lot" and got 2 characters up to level 23. Unfortunately I feel like I'm playing Diablo as everything I have found since then is worse than what I already have. I have found 2 legendaries which may even be better luck than some people. One of those legendaries became uncommon boots that I junked. The other legendary became a helmet for my warlock I never use. So I can understand the frustration, I can't spend weeks farming for a single item. I would lose interest in the game before that happened.

Gamertag?

Just wait until you stumble across an exotic weapon bounty, you won't be disappointed ;)

I feel the same way as you! People always complain about not being able to acquire legendaries/exotics, but that just makes finally getting them more amazing!

I have no problem with a low drop rate. I do have a problem with a low conversion rate. imagine the scene if you would: I get a slight jolt when I see a purple glow on the floor half hidden by the corpse I just created.....I walk over slowly... no it isn't heavy ammo, oh my good god. I'm on the edge of my seat, walking over to it. Legendary engram! I stop, only for a second to bask in its beautiful glow, then snatch it up. As soon as i can I rush back to the tower run right up to the cryptarch like a puppy with his first big stick, tail wagging. Me: ..."what is it, what is it, what is it... what has I found?" Cryptarch: "sorry little puppy this purple item is a very sharp and pointy, I'll give you this nice blue one instead" Me:..."But i already have a blue one, i don't have a purple one" Cryptarch: "better luck next time" * tail stops wagging* and folds firmly between legs as I mope back to orbit. rinse and repeat 10 to 20 times and suddenly you aren't even excited when you see one on the floor. instead you think "legendary engram? god damn it i thought it was heavy ammo." You don't rush back with baited breath but instead dread. you fear to hope that perhaps this time you might get a shiny purple item, even though your previous 19 experiences seems to tell you otherwise. you are ready to decrypt it and begin the sulking and there it is purple hands! genuine purple hand! Me: "THANK YOU MR. CRYPTARCH! thank you, thank you, thank you" *tail is wagging ferociously!* Cryptarch: "you're welcome little puppy" Me: *goes to equip and look how amazing the item looks in the virtual flesh* "umm Mr. Cryptarch i think you made a mistake this item says hunter in the spot where it should say warlock, see right there hunt-ter...and me im war-lock" Cryptarch: "I said...you're welcome little puppy" Me...*narrows eyes*...*holds up paw* ......"you better sort this sh*t out buddy or I'm gonna turn you into ash, I swear, ain't nobody got time for that!" ....and that is why, i will from now on, get better conversions from my legendary engrams. <----true story

The only thing that needs to be fixed is the rewards for the crucible. Multiple games every single night that I lead my team in very category and don't get any rewards at all. Then you have games where someone who is in last place with barely any points getting rare as legendary items and engrams. They shouldn't reward players for being terrible or doing nothing every match. The looting system for the vanguard side is fine. Everyone complaining about that needs to relax. I've had plenty of items drop during missions and strikes (even got legendary armor to drop) you just have to play the game. Like the original post said I'm glad it's hard to get these items I just don't want to be punished for doing well in PvP matches.

I just found a legendary engram. Got a exotic sniper that never has to be reloaded and regenerates ammo. Pretty op I say but it's called the icebreaker

but the thing is, they really aren't legendary. Some people like me and having terrible luck. My first 2 engram to actually give me legendary's gave me gear for a titan while playing a warlock. i didn't even want to make a titan, still kinda don't. There is nothing about destiny loot system that you can justify, yes a system based on luck is fair to everyone, but it penalizes players who actually work hard. The grinding in destiny is non existent, seriously your capped by how many marks so can earn, RNG system doesn't allow for any reward to skilled players, and people who just happen to be really lucky are rolling in gear. Then there are people who can literally afk an entire crucible and still win exotics. Have you seen the amount of exotics out there already? i agree that these items should be hard to earn, but no one is earning them at all. People are getting lucky, being lucky isn't a reward its a blessing. Those of us who are putting hard work in 24/7 and getting 0 reward for it are tired of it. i love destiny i think the game is amazing so im not bashing it. I just really hate RNG system looting in every game its ever been in. There are only 2 ways of getting gear with RNG, being lucky is one, and increasing the amount of kills in PvE environments in another. On top of having the crappy RNG system you have the chance of decoding engrams into items for other classes. That's a double slap in the face as far as im concerned. If i get lucky enough to get a legendary i want that mofo to be useful to me. It would be different if destiny had some type of trading or AH system but bungie will never do that. To be honestly the only reason destiny can ignore our complaints about the RNG system and low drop rates is because of how they destroyed earning your gear. I feel absolutely no pleasure in buying the best/second best gear in the game from vendors. You can literally get any exotic or legendary gear you want if you just want enough weeks tog et marks and for the agent of nine vendor to bring it to you. Making exotics buyable was one of bungies worst mistakes. Hell even buying legendary's gear is a huge mistake, where the hell is the logic in giving away the gear you're suppose to work your ass off to get? with a 100 mark cap a week even low skilled players can beat the 20 strike for 2 marks and have their gear all in 2 weeks. Literally all you have to do is wait.... just wait and it'll be there gift wrapped with a bow and everything. I just really want to feel like im earning my gear and so fair i havent felt that way at all. If i thought i could do the house of glass raid without buying legendary gear from the vendors then i really would just not buy a single piece. This way i'd actually have to earn my gear, the only problem is that if i dont buy the vendor gear i wont get it anywhere else in time to actually stay competitive and entertained. Maybe if the vendor gear was geared more towards PvP somehow and offered less PvE value then i wouldn't feel ashamed buying it and saying i earned it. [b][u]Anyone who read all that, thank you. I know i ranted a bit but i just wanted to people to understand that the reason destiny loot system is so fudged is because they literally give you what you want if you just wait 2 weeks and do the most basic tiniest bit of work in those 2 weeks.[/u] [/b]

Cant disagree, but engrams should be rewarded more frequently in the Crucible for good results with a high % chance. Ive seen ppl getting legendary engrams with 1 kill and 20 death on the last place while the first one with 30 kills got one uncommon item lol. This needs to be adressed FAST... It is HUGELY discouraging and makes no sense imo! Also killing a boss in a strike should give some decent drops... Now it drops... Glimmer lol...
