Dear Bungie,
I would like to start by saying that I do enjoy Destiny, and I am hopeful for the series to go in a positive direction. However, I have to agree that there are many things that need to be fixed or tweaked before it reaches its own "Golden Age". For me, a primary objective, besides the need for more story content, that needs to be fixed is the loot system, and here is an idea that might remedy it slightly.
"Sedna's Dreamcatcher"***
Item Type: Consumable
Price: Greater than 10000 Glimmer
Vendors: Cryptarch / Gunsmith
Available After Level 20
Other Areas: Extremely Rare Drop from Loot Chests
Lore Description:
"This artifact of the Golden Age was found on Venus at a previously Vex-held research facility. Within some of the man-made ruins, this, and a letter, were found on the body of a long dead Guardian."

Your servants are getting restless. Give this a try.

(Note: I know that Bungie makes the lore, but it's just a suggestion.)
Effect: Increases the rate of finding Legendary* and Exotic Items from Engrams by 25 to 50%, during Patrols, High-Level Strikes and Raids, and The Crucible.
(* Also, this would make it so the likelihood of getting Legendary armor or weapons from engrams more than 90%. This excludes Ascendant Materials.)
(*** Maybe more ideas are needed.)
Advantages:
> Give Glimmer a purpose again after Level 20.
> Allows players who don't have the advantage of playing freely can still progress in the game.
Limitations:
> The actual length of the effect is no longer that five minutes, but possibly greater than one minute.
> The cool-down time after using one is one full week.
> You can only carry a maximum of three in your inventory.
> After using one, you will not find any Legendary or Exotic Engrams randomly throughout the world during the cool-down. However, this excludes Tower Vendors and Activity Rewards.
This might not settle well with some people, but it's just an idea.
