I just spent the last hour busting my ass to solo the nightfall with my lvl 30 worlock, had Phogoth down to a bees dick of health and one of my buddies joined my fireteam with a lvl 28. I killed Phogoth and as I reward I got 8 strange coins, my buddy who did nothing got a new Gjallarhorn. So I ask What the -blam!- Bungie!?!? How the hell does that make any since!? It's not the first time shit like this has happened... I am so sick of busting my ass on this game just to get -blam!-ed over by bullshit like that. Why isn't the game set up to reward the player that actually did the work!? I might as well just start joining people's fireteam right before they beat a mission or dick around during Vanguard Playlist since those seem to be the players that get the better rewards... I am so pissed at this game, especially after spending 2 hours last night trying to beat Crota and having players die by him after we took his sheild down or having Crota fall off the top for no reason and cause a wipe or wasting countless heavy ammo synthesis due to a glitch rhat causes me to lose heavy ammo everytime I die or we have to wipe and after all that work all I got for beating him was 2 Radiant Shards... 2 -blam!-ing Radiant Shards... Also since the patch that made it more difficult to level the Cryptarch up but better odds of getting a Ledendary reward I have received 1 Legendary engram after leveling my Cryptarch up at least 15 times between my 3 characters. Not the mention the fact that I have had this game since day one but a friend of mine that got the game 3 weeks ago and has never set foot in a raid reached lvl 31 before I did just because he got 3 pieces of lvl 33 from the postmaster, I beat the Vault of Glass Hard mode on all three characters nearly every week to get to lvl 30 but rarely received anything but shards and energy. I understand that the reward sysytem for this game is set up to be random but is it too much to ask that Players like me that have well over 500 hours of out time invested into the game don't constantly get shit on? I keep playing this game with the optimistic hope that today will be the day I don't get -blam!-ed but those days are far fewer than those that I quit playing for the day cause I am so pissed about busting my ass just to get some insugnifigant crap that I don't need or want. Bungie you spend so much time making sure the players don't cut corners or beat bosses by pushing them off and I get that, but why the hell has there been so many updates but I am still getting less strange coins than I get for beating the heroic for beating the nightfall as a reward but someone with 0 kills and less than 30 seconds in the game gets an exotic weapon that I have been busting my ass trying get still happening!?!?! I am seriously debating either selling this damn game back to GameStop and getting a game that actually rewards a player for putting time and effort into it vs being constantly disappointed and frustrated because of a -blam!-ed up reward system.

Just cool down and take a break. One day that will be you getting those rewards. If things were to easy.. What fun would that be. Also you wont find a better game than this so take a breather I recommend child of light. That's my cool down game. So fun, so affordable :)

I got star protocol, carry more fusion rifle/ heavy ammo and get an additional grenade
-
that's RNG buddy. gotta deal with it.
-
RGN are you new to the game or something?
-
600+ hours here and not complaining
-
ah bungie developers aren't they sweet? And just think we gave them our money. I got no one to blame but me for being stupid enough to believe bungie's bullsh*t. at least you got company in your misery.
-
Same happened here. It turns out the less deaths you have the better rewards you get. It's extremely stupid.
-
I've noticed this too, who ever joins last seems to have higher odds of getting the better reward. It seems like bungie is taking notes from EA
-
That's why I stop soloing stuff. Waste of time to get crap rewards.
-
While I sympathize with you as its happened to me, the game rewards are random & inherent to it being random is the whole "Occasionally you get F'ed" on rewards thing. It either is truly random or not, I don't really see a happy middle for this.
