Soo, that Cryptarch is pretty crafty making off with 3 hours of your time to find a purple eh? What should be done about this? We mostly agree the mechanics of engrams are dumb, so vote above and comment below. Let us bring this to bungie's attention.

What is your Cryptarch level?

Edited by Guardian9447: 9/19/2014 9:53:50 AMI actually like that you can get resources from him. I guess it would be nice if more purples dropped. Or not... It is rather rewarding when you see one drop (even if you know it'll be crap). Me and my buddies always say: "Ooo a piece of candy!"

I am fine with the purple engrams being hard to find, that is good. They wouldn't be legendary if they were so easy to obtain. What I am not fine with is spending hours to get a purple engram, only for the cryptard to give me a blue item from it. Every time! Why have the engrams be a low drop chance, and then on top of that make the chance of actually getting legendary gear from it low too, it isn't fair and forces people into spending hours, and hours, and hours doing boring farming when if we were given the legendaries we expected we might actually continue playing the game properly and having fun instead of farming that damn cave.

Leave it how it is. More rewarding that way.
