[b]Nightfall! What an opportunity to win big rewards! The reward is random so you could win ANYTHING!!![/b]
-but you'll get ascendant energy and coins...
[b]But wait there's more! There are raids! What an amazing challenge where you can win awesome gear and weapons!!![/b]
-but you'll get 4 ships, 3 sparrows, 253 ascendant energy, 10 shards, and 3975 chatterwhites...
[b]But wait! There's even a mysterious merchant who will show up for 2 days a week with exotic items for sale! So it's a guarantee you'll get something good from him![/b]
-but he pretty much just sells the same handful of exotics every single week
[b]But don't worry! With the RNG system you're bound to randomly get awesome items![/b]
-but 50% of them will be uncommon, 49% will be rare, and the other 1% will be the same items you already have...
[b]But don't worry! You'll also find Engrams! These could be any number of items! Just take them to the cryptarch to have them decrypted and find out what you got![/b]
-The rule of thumb is:
Rare Engram = Rare Item
Legendary Engram = Rare Item, Strange Coin, Mote of Light, Ascendant Material
[b]So get out there and play
"Grind Fest 2000"![/b]
(and hope you get lucky)

HOnestly, I wouldnt mind grindfest, if my goals had a tangible way to monitor my progress to those goals. This is why RNG is inherently flawed.. here is what i think a better (more challanging, maybe) but fairer, loot system would look like. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/90955786/0/0/1
