It's nice to be able to earn a weapon like that without having to rely on RNG, but there were quite a few people who spent weeks doing research and performing experiments in the game to try finding it. This was an entertaining way to earn a powerful exotic, but there was no reason for Bungie not to speak up when it saw this massive hunt and tell people "hey, relax, it's nowhere NEAR that complicated! You'll get your chance soon enough!" The fact that they let people put in all this effort to find this weapon when it was entirely unnecessary is why people are angry about it. Communication would have made all the difference in the world.
