Wall of Text Rant (Beware)
As the title says, I'm a very...verbose person when it comes to my rants. I tend to type a lot so if you don't like to read, and maybe be entertained, this isn't the thread for you. I'll try and tldr it for you lazy people but no promises.
Uno:
I understand their logic behind making Crucible loot all RNG based, but honestly it has no place in "Competitive Multiplayer" which is what all 4 playlists in Destiny claim it is. To me, "competitive" means bring your A Game to the table and, if you do well, reaping the rewards. Not being last on the list and getting an Exotic while the top gets nothing (happened to me twice today alone in Rumble. One got a Thunderlord, the other got a Last word). Leave the RNG loot to PvE, where it belongs. But when you go up against other players, the rewards should be granted to those who do the best. I'm not saying don't give the underachievers nothing, because that's just rude. What I'm saying is if you're going less than 1.00 K/D or not playing objective, for example, you shouldn't have the option for Legendary or Exotic gear.
TLDR: Crucible loot should be performance based, not RNG based.
Dos:
Lack of communication between the game devs via DeeJ is frustrating. Even if it's a simple, DIRECT (not hidden away at the bottom of an unrelated post), message saying "Hey guys, the patch is delayed at the moment. We believe it will be applied at such and such time on such and such day. Bear with us!"
TLDR: Not long enough to warrant a TLDR so suck it up and read the couple of sentences above.
Tres:
Make Nightfall harder. Don't get me wrong, it's already pretty hard in some places (looking at you, Wave 3 of Summoning Pits this week with your roid raging Wizards) but just playing carefully, it's easily accomplished. Not a necessary thing, but I think, for the free chance at an exotic/materials/legendaries, it's pretty damn easy.
TLDR: Again, not long enough. Cry me a river.
Quatro:
I had something to go here but I forgot. I just wanted to keep counting in Spanish though so I put this here.
Thoughts, questions? Treat it like an AMA. One of the more...played people here that I've seen so if you've got a question about it, there's a good chance I've got an answer (at least if it's Destiny related. Results may vary if not).

2 Replies1) The best players should NOT get the best rewards. Their reward is being the best, and winning. If the better players kept on getting the better items, it would weight the game even more in their favor..making it more one sided. The NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB all do NOT reward the better teams. The team that is the worst gets to choose the better players in the draft..to keep the game competitive. By keeping it random, keep the game interesting and fair. 2) I know of no game maker or developer that gives exact times and dates. Mainly because they can't. They have a round about idea of how long it will take to make adjustments, but they have to test it and check it for errors before they release it, and that takes time. It's not realistic to have a the say it's going to be this day at this time. Heck, we were suppose to get the fix for VoG yesterday, that didn't happen due to the connection issues. 3)Nightfall's seem to be the appropriate level. Exotics are not meant to be sparse. Bungie has said it many times; "it about how you got your gear, not the rarity of it." To some Nightfall's are hard, and you really need to be of an appropriate level to do one.
