RNG, is it really all we think?

Hi fellow thorny guardians. I just want to show you guys something I saw on the forums which I think may be true about RNG. This is the post I found... [quote]I hope Bungie including Deej take a look at this post. This is something that seems to be becoming bit of a trend. It's not jealousy it's not even a moan, but something my friends and I have noticed is that Destiny's rng (random number generator for the noobs) rewards weak players. I play regularly with the same 5 guys. We have mixed experience, mixed amount of game time. Me, I'm about 315 hours worth. Our weakest player has less than 200. By weak I mean he kills the least and dies the most. We are all sporting different blessings in the hope Bungie are lying and they really do have hidden buffs. I am very happy with my titan set up and enjoy what I have, but our poorest player has been awarded 11, yes 11 exotic weapons in half the time I've gotten 5! He is regularly awarded exotics for being by far the weakest in the group whilst we mop up strange coins and blue engrams. Take yesterday for example. We complete nightfall, I get 6 strange coins for 206 kills, he gets gjallarhorn v2 (which I already have) for 67 kills, we complete crotas end. One of us gets shards, he gets 2 bits of raid armor and song of it yut for 50 kills! Whilst we're knocking out 400+! It's the same in the crucible. He's won 2 exotics in that, I have never EVER even been awarded a legendary. So Bungie please don't say you're loot system is random, because the evidence strongly suggests it isn't. This game simply awards weaker players. And because of it some are losing faith and don't want to play. Can we please have something that rewards skill? Can the nightfall please drop a guranteed exotic even if it's only radiant stuff.[/quote] I feel that this is true because since October I feel my skills in destiny have gotten better. But at the same time I have had no exotic weapons since being better at destiny. I have gotten heaps of legendary stuff but no exotics since October. What do you guys think? Do you think it's true that RNG is random or do you think it only gives to the not as good players? post your opinions on this manner. I want to know for sure if this post is true or not.

  • I feel like the game somehow is in your mind let me tell you why. It is Friday I just got back from work I jump right in and do the night fall not hoping for to much since I never get anything except for energies so after kill missile man and I say all I want Is something exotic and boom hawk moon I am so happy you wouldn't believe so I'm happy with the game again and play with hawk moon for the rest of Friday Saturday morning I need to do crota raid full run through. To this point I have had no raid armor drops so first chest nothing I beat the thrall part and boom gauntlets so right there I'm happy next is the bridge and again I get nothing then we finally beat crota and I get five loot drops the helmet the ship hunger of crota and another cryptographic shader and finally some shards (is that even possible)? So I'm happy again then I go into the level 26 strike playlist and I get a legendary primary engram and I get those left and right in those so it's average then the next strike boom I get mida multi tool and that's the second exotic drop in two days so I'm happy and imaditly go an level it with bounties, but before that decrypt my engram and what dose that legendary turn into? Boom hardlight an db this was all when I was thinking about moving on from destiny has this ever happened to anybody else?
