Heres what I got..
And I believe this could help to solve issues for people chasing that, "one gun," they havent been able to get, and also might be a fair compromise for people that want weapon trading.
And I will use myself as an example for this. Around 2 months ago I got my first Gjallarhorn. Since I got my first I have had 5 more drop for me.. which is 3 more than I need... and as i was thinking about sharding them i thought back to the hundreds and hundreds of, "Bungie you suck where's my Ghorn," Or "1,000+ plus hrs no Ghorn," posts on the forums. What if i could turn in my spare exotic weapons, in this case my 3 extra Gjallarhorns in a sort of weekly destiny lottery?? So the same ghorns i donated or maybe exchanged for 10 strange coins each would go to some other guardian who wins it in the lottery? Guardians would pay motes of light or strange coins at a lottery vendor in the tower to enter into the running. Guardians would be able to enter a lottery per guardian per week. I have no clue on whar a fair entry fee would be. . And in the same ways a real lottery works guardians would be able to see which donated exotics are, "On the block," or are available to win at that particular time in the tower.
I know its messy and I don't have all of the answers obviously but it just seems like it might be a nice way to give guardians an additional shot at RNG on weapons that would otherwise get sharded..
Im interested in all of your feedback and improvements on the idea to the 2 guardians that will actually read this far haha
-
Why not have an auction house? Sell a Ghorn but have many guardians bidding on it, see who really wants it the most
-
Great idea and well said bump!
-
I agree but my only thing here is that what if no one donates there 17 gallies because they don't want others to have it. (selfish ppl)
-
Spare Gjallarhorn for sale. Only 300 coins and 20 etheric lights..
-
Or maybe you could get exotic engrams as exchange for a exotic weapon
-
Awesome would totally roll my universal remote in
-
Kinda like the slot machine in borderlands ?
-
-
Xur is the lottery
-
I have three sitting in The vault. I would give away happily.
-
Would you really want to give your extra gally to a player who is [i]complaining[/i] about not getting one on the forums
-
Not a bad idea. But I'd rather they just make every exotic an exotic bounty/quest. Make Xur a part of the quest like he is already to some. Solves a lot of the community issues

Finally a good idea
-
-
Love the idea...how about you deej??????
-
Bump spam! Such a great idea. Btw still have no Ghorn :(
-
Fantastic idea I'd buy into this !
-
Ya i like the idea but people would put crappy exotics sooo u could make different enter prices for certain exotics
-
Or something like csgojackpot.com
-
-
Not a bad idea at all ive got like six or seven and my friend has four crux of crotas just sitting there
-
This would need a ton of cleaning up, but the idea itself is great.
-
I like this idea, if this came out I would be glad to get rid of the fourth and fifth Gally I got, I kind of get annoyed when I get more than I have but also laugh.

Post by OP operates under the assumption that Bungie views this as a problem they want to 'solve'. I do believe Bungie would positively love for us to continue chasing that one gun. (Thunderlord please! Just drop already! >.<) I would personally love to see something like this, but Bungie seems intent on dumbing down their game to maintain a T rating. Lotteries may be considered a form of gambling by the ESRB. I'm sure the story and the world were dumbed down for the T rating at some point during development. Cause honestly, when was the last time Bungie created a game that wasn't rated M?
