They have always been the epitome of rng. You can get a blue and glimmer from one, or an exotic from the next. They are only worth your time if you havent discovered any exotics still and want to roll the dice with rng. I also just remembered you can get every past seasons faction weapons to drop from these. So no, they definitely are not useless for everyone. Unless you have every exotic and every faction weapon they have ever released, you have a chance to find a weapon you don't have. I have everything so they dont do much for me, but for the majority playerbase you shouldn't mislead them. Most people dont have every faction weapon from every season. It was kinda grindy to get them all tbh.
