So I have gotten ~9-10 legendary engrams so far, 2 of them resulted in legendaries, 2 of them gave me ascendant shards. That's all good and stuff. What's not good in my mind is that over half of them awarded me with level 16 items when I'm light level 26. That's what's really pissing me off. I have much less of a problem accepting a non-legendary item from a Legendary engram if said item is a level 20 blue, but to receive a level 16 feels like a RNG slap to the face when it comes to engrams.
If Bungie can fix said engrams to drop minimum level 20 gear, I'm sure a lot of people would be much happier with them

Isn't that what spending that hard earned glimmers about? Joining factions to grind and gain rep, to buy better stuff? I may be wrong but hey, that's how I thought it was

Even Im going through a really rough patch right now as are others. We just gotta cross our fingers, bro. RNG is a bitch and a serious love-hate relationship.

The main problem with this is that the extremely high likelihood of legendary engrams being blue has sucked almost all of the excitement out of finding a legendary engram. In just a matter of days the mood of finding a legendary has gone from sheer excitement where I'm on a high the rest of the strike and I can't wait to get back to tower to see what I got...to blah whatever its most likely just gonna be a blue again, .I mean people shouldn't get depressed finding purples, as they know their just going to be disappointed when they decrypt it. If they intent is for them to be that rare then just make the Purple Engram drop that more rare to find but make it almost a guaranteed Legendary when decrypted. That way people are excited again about finding them. The fact that the only legendary item I've got so far came from a blue when i've decrypted about 8 purples so far is just stupid.

I have the same "problem" 10 engrames. One fusion rifle, one chest armour (not my class) and the rest blue engrams or one or two rare coins. I would like to know the ratio youre actually getting a purple gear/weapon?.

Agree. Acquiring legendary should be a measure of skill not simply luck.

The RNG and Drop Rates are far too low. I'd love to see the statistics. I bet the drop rate is 10,000:1 for a Legendary Engram, and then you have to roll 1:100 to get that Legendary. This game is impossible to get full Epic, let alone Legendary without playing Full-Time 16 hours a day 7 days a week for 6 months. The drop-rates are stupid. Bungie fix this or I'm trading in the game and going back to Halo.

Just play the game as is and enjoy ffs

Mainly, if they only gave Lv. 20+ it would kind of bring the game to an easier setting. They want you to last in the game and have to take time to level, if you just got your goal early it would bore the game from your interests. Though I can understand your frustration, rep grinding and occasionally finding a Legendary engram to help is just the easier case for a Legendary. Make sure you're also getting those strange coins for when the vendor is there for your exotic!

I am lvl23 and I still haven't gotten a single legendary or higher anything because Bungie/Destiny hates me. I was all up in a puff about to tell you to stop whining until I read your post. I agree completely. It's stupid that the majority of items I get at lvl23 is lvl16 with mediocre to no light.
