After researching your account; you're actually just "bad". You only have one character to play IB on, so you get only 1/3 the rewards. On top of that; you're using a crap subclass and bad weapons. So I feel like your W/L isn't too good. Which would mean you're not getting enough tokens at all. Your points are very valid; but I wanted to give some insight as to why you may not be getting the gear you want.

So your answer is that I'm not playing the meta and grinding enough? The grind and the meta is the problem.
-
I agree the grind is bad and the meta needs work. However, as things are right now, you have to work with them.
-
i know, and I feel for you getting all the crap replies to your post. i'm in the Iron Banner right now, grinding away for my samurai helm.

Best of luck man, make me proud!(:

Bad reply is bad

I have 3 max light characters and have a 1.63 k/d and have done every iron banner challenge every day and just played for wins also and guess what. I've gotten 3 pieces of an armor set after all that grinding! Its so great spending all this time on the game to get the same chest piece and arms every time! :)
-
Make sure you're doing the challenges on all 3 characters and turning in all those tokens on a single class; to maximize your chance of getting that class's armor set!
-
Holy crap, I did not know that. I need 3 more packages and very little time to do it in tonight. Doing the daily on each will be much faster than on one, and having to play x amount of games.

I run 3 characters usual load is Mida, Origin Story, or Antiope/ Uriels Gift / Curtain Call. I have traded in between 20-25 engrams between the 3 of them. Efficiency usually ranges between 1.3-1.9 but, recently have gotten some really laggy lobbies. Here are my rewards: I have gotten a helm and cloak for hunter, legs and chest for titan, nothing for warlock, the hand cannnon, and the rest have all been the sub machine gun. That is ridiculous! I wouldn't mind if it gave me duplicates of several items but to get 10+ of the same exact item is insane. I would much prefer to be able to buy my armor pieces like in D1. I could care less about the weapons or even the level of the drops really but, I'm sick of seeing the same drop over and over and over again.
-
Personally I think there should be limited options for what to buy per event; but RNG should be able to give you anything IB. That way; if you grind enough you can get everything at once. But if RNG screws you, or you can't play 40+ hours a week, you can still take solace in your guaranteed 4 or so pieces of gear.
-
This is a good idea, have two weapons and armor pieces for sale like the old IB. Hell, even having one of each would be nice. Those who can only play a few hrs a week can then eventually get a full set and those who want to grind can get it all done in one week. A good example of a solution that works for everyone.

I want to give some insight on why you're a douche. You checked his accout and i guess he didn't have mida, uriels, and pulse nades so he is not allowed to say anything negative about this game. This game is in a very bad way right now. I love destiny and expected so much more. Hopefully they will read all the criticism and fix things before to many leave.
-
You and him are both correct; the way things are need fixing. I was explaining why he isn't getting what he wants. He [i]SHOULDN'T[/i] have to equip Mida, Last hope, etc. or [i]HAVE[/i] to use 3 characters. But unfortunately he does. Which is my insight on why he isn't getting what he wants.
-
bad RNG screws everyone, regardless of sweatiness, skill, or time spent.
-
-
That isn't true. It's Random; so it doesn't "screw everyone". It's entirely dependent on your luck, which spending more time in the IB will improve. Wins and completing challenges will also improve your luck.

I have 3 characters. Did the challenges each day on each for max tokens. My biggest issue is I loaded all tokens received into my hunter I’m rank 25 or something around that and yet I can’t drop the -blam!-ing cloak or chest. But hey at least I have 7 pulse rifles and 4 auto rifles and 2 hand cannons. The issue at least from a loot perspective is t the fact that I don’t have the full set. It’s the fact that no matter how much you grind it’s 100% RNG. And once you get something it’s drop rate increases 150%. This is quite irritating. With D1 I was fine having to work through iron banner over 3 events to get the full set because I was not really given the chance even if I hit rank 5. The max was 2 armor pieces guaranteed. But now there is only 1 way to achieve a full set and RNG is not kind.

I'm actually in the exact same boat as you. I didn't get the cloak until around 35 packages. Just keep going man, I believe in you!
