Decrypting Rare, Legendary, or Exotic Engrams

This is just a suggestion to adjust a system that seems to frustrate people in the Destiny community. With Rare, Legendary and Exotic engrams whether from a drop or purchasing from Xur, they are random to class. The issue I bring up is with how rare these drops are or the grind to earn enough motes of light to purchase an exotic engram, why would this reward be left to chance? [b]The potential issue I propse[/b]: Engrams can give drops not specific to class that is in use while opening the engram. If players only play one character, receiving a armor piece meant for another class would be a waste of a rare drop or 20+ motes of light. Similar to whenever you complete a story mission and turn in the material picked up, you can choose from 2-4 options of weapons or armor for your class and specific to the level the player should be at, during that specific mission. Or Just make armor drops class specific when they are decrypted, no ability to pick and choose. Example: Purple armor drop, when decrypted by hunter, it is for hunter. If your titan gets the drop and your hunter decrypts, it is for your hunter. Would it be wrong to fix this system so we are rewarded when we pay 20+ motes or get such a rare drop? Why or Why not? [b]Edit:[/b] Just looking for thoughts and opinions. * I have the three classes.* If you disagree, say why. Articulate a point of view at least.

  • It's designed that way for longevity. If you get something for a hunter and you play as a Titan it is meant to encourage you to start a hunter and play through again. This will be not be changed and nor should it be, there are 3 character slots for a reason, try making 1 of each class not 3 of the same(not implying the OP, but a general comment)
