sorry double post

Except they said right in the update that they are implementing changes to the 'randomness' of decrypting (it sounded like so that when you get a rare/legendary engram, it *actually* will be that level most of the time now) as well as adding in more rewards for doing actual missions and such. Hence, it sounds as though they are removing the farming, while adding in fixes that will address the issues you guys have. So, how about try it out and see if they did, instead of saying the are making it more broken before you've actually tried out the updated version.

Agreed. People are asking the wrong questions. They need to ask why farming was a viable option in the first place. The answer is because the reward system was not adequate in providing sufficient reward for effort. Combine that with purples turning into blues and greens and it forced people to "play the numbers". When you can't trust a it poke engram to be a purple or higher reward, the only solution is to acquire the most engrams you can in hopes the numbers will reward you with at least one. People who don't understand the why of farming driven by an RNG system suck at math and don't understand the concept of people wanting to maximize the efficiency of their limited playing time by putting themselves in the best position to work within a system based on RNG. Nerfing the loot cave is like taking away crutches from a one legged person and insisting they use their broken wheelchair instead of fixing their damn wheelchair that was so broken it caused them to get crutches in the first place. You're addressing the symptom instead of the disease.
