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

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.
