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?

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.

While me I get 3 of the same shotgun, in a row in stikes , second 2 lower than the first, and purple drops are worthless I'm 606 currently and they drop at 578. Primes are the only useful thing to me and I get Amor when I need weapons to increase my light. 2 of us are not wasting time grinding a game for trash n grind for useless items N needing to level up for forges is a pain those purple drops need to match my light cos my blues are now looking better . Bungle needs to safe guard getting multiple drops one after another and deal with exotic drops . But saying this I've seen multiple post for a while on the subject and still nothing , I'd love to know what system they have for drops because for an amazing thought out game the rng sucks n needs dealing with.
