It was my fault really. I knew it was entirely possible for an item to never drop via RNG but for some reason I wasted my playtime for 2 weeks trying. Some would say it's just a cosmetic thing and not worthy of any attention, but honestly the depth would be more lacking without them. I also happen to think some of the ships look pretty cool and finding another that wasn't the same color at least appealed to me. But it appears this is not to be. With so many missions done I would have hoped to eventually gain the reward others found so easily was destined to elude me. And it leaves me thinking, I didn't really enjoy grinding for it after a point. That point passed probably early on and quickly gave way to determination and hardheadedness. Looking back it was a horrible experience overall. At least if I had the ship I would have felt some justification for my efforts. Instead I'm left with a lack of desire to really even continue playing for a while. It's my fault really for not stopping, but the decision not to has left me with a bitter taste of the game as a whole right now. I won't request any changes or make demands, but felt I could maybe offer my feedback of the event for what it was worth. For having so few rewards and still have such a high potential for letdown despite time invested was well beyond anything I was prepared for in the beginning and hopefully, barring some mental disorder compelling me otherwise (implying I don't already have one despite banging my head into the queen's brick wall), is something I will endeavor to not duplicate. Thanks to whomever should happen to read this at bungie as you have no obligation to do so, but in the case it is read, it is appreciated.
