I don't think it will ever happen and that's because of what would have to be added to the game to make it work. It's also because of a story DeeJ shared about how he got his Thunderlord from a Crucible drop as well as our own stories about favorite drops.
It also completely changes the social dynamic of a game as well. Think of all the wheeling and dealing that happens with checkpoints instead of players actually playing the game for their loot.
Now multiply that by a factor of a LOT.
I think Bungie has it right the way it is. For me at least, nothing would be as much fun as random loot tables. Do NOT slow the roll!
RNG Forever!!

There're about 1,746 different snarky responses for a post like that, but instead how about I just ask WHY you think random loot tables aren't a good idea for Destiny. The only people that I could see having any real reason to not like it are players who only play PvP. Even then you have the Iron Balancer and House of Wolves will improve vanilla PvP drops. Although I would hardly call Destiny's PvP "vanilla".
