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...

  • People are complaining because the system they are using to distribute these weapons simply isn't fun. At all. There is nothing great about having to grind for gear one way or the other, Destiny is not a mind blowing experience with friends if you have to sit down and farm gear to try out all of the new content that is strictly for lvl 26 and above.
