Let me tell you a story...

It's a few minutes into the 2 hour window on the Iron Banner in beta - game uno. And what did I get? The Birth of History! When it was cool and had the wolves on the side. This is literally the only thing in the game I wanted from that point on. I was hoping near the end of the beta it would be announced that a special slot in the vault would be added, for one item to transfer to game, that didn't happen, so I waited until the first Iron Banner but with work hardly had time. No biggie, it will come around again. Let me tell you another story. This one takes place over a weekend I had off during the second Iron Banner once the game had been released. 12 hours Saturday, 12 hours Sunday. Straight. Not a drop at all. Sure, I did better than everyone, win or lose, for about 85% of the matches, not including those in the week leading up to it, but that didn't seem to mater as the people on my team who had two kills and 20 deaths got the ship, legendary weapons, and what not. I specifically remember one match I carried us to victory as usual with a 26/8, receiving no rewards what-so-ever, while our second place player with 11/12 (that's right, NOT EVEN POSITIVE) got the Universal Remote. In both days, I saw the ship drop twice for the same person in one hour, never out of the bottom three, one friend receive it 4 times, but never, ever, me, seemingly the only person who actually wanted the ship, and I'll restate, as the ONLY THING IN THE WHOLE GAME THAT I WANTED SINCE BEFORE THE GAME WAS RELEASED AND YOU GAVE TO ME IN THE BETA AFTER ALL OF 11 MINUTES, while listening to people whine and moan about how they didn't want it, didn't like it, and were DESTROYING it. Here's where the bug is to me. Obviously, OBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLY, IN A FREAKING COMPETITIVE GAME, THOSE WHO DO BETTER SHOULD BE RECEIVING THE BIG REWARDS. OBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLYOBVIOUSLY. IT, IN FACT, GOES WITHOUT SAYING, AND YET HERE I AM HAVING TO SAY IT. SERIOUSLY. FIX YOUR RNG TO BE BIASED TOWARDS GOOD PLAYERS, NOT 100% COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY RANDOM TO WHERE YOU CAN ZONE IN AT THE LAST SECOND, LOSE, WITH 0 KILLS 0 DEATHS 0 ASSISTS AND A LIFE OF <0.5 S AND GET AN EXOTIC OR ANY REWARD WHATSOEVER. Do you want to know the exact reason you are losing so many players? Because no matter how good they are, they get nothing because you are not rewarding players who are actually trying to do well. There is no challenge whatsoever, no desire to compete. They get tired of being the best ALL THE FREAKING TIME and getting nothing. So they leave, and go play their call of duty or whatever people play and never think about their Destiny. You seriously need to consider this one fact in particular as it WILL have an effect on the initial interest in your OTHER DESTINY GAMES. That no one will buy or care to play because, hey, it doesn't matter at all how good you are and is therefore by definition NOT a competitive game, so who gives a flying frack right? In closing, my main desire is that for the next Iron Banner, don't take out the ship, BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY THING IN THE GAME I WANT, and you know sure DLC comes out with new raids and ships and weapons and I don't give a crap because I will never be able to get THE ONE ITEM OF HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT I'M PLAYING THIS GAME RIGHT NOW. I am one of the biggest fans of this game, as I seem to be one the few that realize that the story is secondary as this is meant to be a PvP based game, and I would hate to stop playing video games all together because I have no interest in other game types. So please, don't abort The Birth of History. Please.
