Most of you might wonder why others seem to be more lucky with loot than others. Trying to get more exotics? Trying to get that last piece of raid gear to hit 30? What better equip for alts doing crucible, weeklies, or strikes? There is a key to how it all works and just needed to be noticed but if you put the puzzle together it all makes sense. For starters, Bungie and Activision want to keep players playing (even the garbage people that don't communicate and overall are not very good at the game). How do they keep these people playing? By following the no child left behind rule and making you think its all RNG. How many good players have gone through a raid getting nothing but shards? How many good players pulled the team to victory by leading the charts in the crucible with no reward? You see that is exactly the problem, the no child left behind rule means if your doing well at the game you have the gear needed to be successful and don't really need any equipment where on the other hand if you are doing poor in the game well here are your legendries or exotics to help you do better. What I found is that if your stats are low, you will get a better shot at the gear. I tested this theory in the weekly. Me and a friend cleared it to last boss, I disconnected at the end and rejoined the match. You know those 2 - 3 blues you get for completing the weekly? Guess what I got? [b]3 legendary engrams [/b] Tested it in the raid, friend of mine jumped off the edge, jump around randomly, did pretty much next to nothing and got raid gear from oracles and Templar. Suros regime + Patience and time from the chest. Shards from Gatekeeper (he picked up a shield) and atheons epilogue + Plan C from Atheon. So all in all if you want the gear don't try so hard. Just sit back and be part of the bottom 2 and guess what you get? Raid gear, raid weapons, exotics, and legendary items while the rest of your team gets shards. If you think about it, the people who don't contribute and don't do very well are getting the good stuff. Try it out for yourself, you will see what I mean
