If Bungie does nothing else to the current drop rate, what they SHOULD do, at the very least, is make one guaranteed essence drop from the red border chest, just like how we get a guaranteed red border every week from it. If nothing else, that way we know that even if someone gets the absolute worst RNG and doesn't get a random essence drop at all, they can still get the gun in 20 weeks for sure. I think running a raid for 20 weeks should definitely give you the exotic from that raid, doesn't feel like much to ask for. Bu in general, I definitely would not mind if Bungie increased the drop rate.
