I have played 1106 Crucible games... Mostly in Control/IB. If my memory serves correct, I have received 2 Exotic Weapons (Gjallarhorn and 4th Horseman) in this time. So for me, the drop rate appears to be 1/550 games... so due to randomness, this is probably 1/500 (1 in 500).
Whats been your drop rate?
EDIT #1: Strange Distribution so far..."Law of Small Numbers" I guess...

Once I got two exotics in one session of playing. One match separated both the drops. First came Ice breaker and then later the MIDA-Multitool. Made me laugh so hard when my friends started moaning and whining.
