I don't understand why changing the loot system isn't making as much or more noise that was created from the community from the old Cryptarch giving you rares from legendary engrams. Here are the things I consantly see from the "pro-rng" crowd [i]If it was changed, EVERYONE would have X!![/i] - First off, what you are essentially saying "I want to have an advantage over everyone else by being the only person with this particular gear". It's wrong to think this - Second, if feeling "special" is really that important, then instead of making loot arbitrary there should be weapon shaders that are randomly awarded. That way, your weapon can look different than everyone else's. - Why not even take it a step further and give people weapon model choices? The stats/perks are the same, but if you get a very rare weapon model you could have a completely unique game item. [i]Every MMO uses RNG[/i] - No, not [b]every[/b] MMO uses RNG but I'll grant you that most do - However, the thing that sets Destiny apart is that in addition to RNG Bungie has also made most of the loot [b]arbitrary[/b]. I do not have a Gally; My friend has one that he got off of a legendary engram which was acquired from a low level Dreg while doing patrol missions. This is unfair, and logically makes no sense at all. [i]You don't have to have X to win[/i] - You also don't need legendary gear to win. Just because you [b]can[/b] complete everything using nothing but rare gear, it doesn't make it a good idea. In the same way, yes I [b]can[/b] down Crota using any other rocket launcher but by far the best weapon to do that with is the Gally. [i]Bungie would need to spend hundreds of hours coding a change into the game[/i] - Uh, yes. Yes they would. I don't see why "waaah it's hard" is something we should accept. [i]There is no better way to distribute loot[/i] - There are [b]plenty [/b]of better systems or mitigations that could be implemented [i]I got everything I need, RNG is fine and working great[/i] - You completely lack empathy, go away 1) After a boss kill, if you don't get any gear, you get a token instead. A certain number of these tokens could be traded to a vendor in exchange for one piece of gear 2) Dynamic loot distribution system that increases your chance to get X everytime you do not get X. So, even if you don't get X, you still "earned" something (that something being a better chance to get X next time) 3) Add exotic bounties for every non-raid exotic in the game 4) Let us trade in one exotic for another. Just add a tag to every non-Xur exotic gear; These gear pieces can be traded in for other gear pieces. It's completely fair because you'd just be trading in something from a loot table for something else from that same loot table.
