Yes, I know there are lot's of threads about RNG in Destiny 2.
tl;dr
Dear Bungie, please look into it, from my experience it's just awful.
There should be some sort of RNG protection or other clever solution of obtaining certain items (at least that are mandatory for badges)
Or the items should be earned through some tough activity / quest, ace of spades / chaperone is the perfect example, but activity can be much harder, like niobe labs or solo shattered throne (my preferences)
My experience, like a simple example:
45 last wish runs and still no 1k voices
56 forge frames - got 8! le monarque bows (that's ridiculously high drop chance) and 0 Ada lore pages in Gofannon forge (very low drop chance)
Still no "Starlight Shell", but doing all Ascendant Challenges on 3 chars from the beginning of Forsaken
Still no "Wing of the crow" emblem, but doing shore bounties on the cool down.
I know many other people who almost live in the game and still don't have some items which others get from first try - why is that a thing?
[b]Would be grateful if you upvote this so Bungie community guys will pay some attention, thanks in advance.[/b]
An update.
13.01.19 was my 47th full run Last Wish raid and I took 6 ethereal keys to the final loot room - on my 3rd chest I finally got 1000 voices.
Still some of my friends missing some drop, like tyranny of heaven from the Vault encounter and they have more then 50 lw runs...
I have almost every item in the game with something around 2.1k hours in Destiny 2 at the moment, and still missing "Starlight Shell".
15.01.19 did the last ascendant challenge on my third character this week and finally got the "Starlight Shell".
I have a feeling that Bungie will never see this thread still I'm sharing my experience to ease my frustration knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle.
I really hope right after the dust settles due the split between Bungie and Activision our feedback will be more meaningful.

RNG either needs fixed or RNG drops need removed from the titles. I have played enough gambit to reset 3 times last season and am about to reset again this season and still have not got the Hazard of the Cast to drop. I have gotten countless copies of all the other weapons and all the armor for my Warlock. This drop alone is keeping me from getting the dredgen title. And I would have had it weeks ago if not for this drop being so stingy. Honestly if Bungie doesn't want to mess with RNG that's fine. I don't really even want the gun other than for completing this triumph/title. Achievements should be actual achievements not something tied to RNG. Leave in all the weapons that there are guaranteed ways to get but remove those that rely on this terrible random drop system.
