It's rng man, that's what destiny is built on. People need to stop expecting things to drop quickly...sometimes they wont. I've been doing the mountaintop quest for 3 weeks and dropped the catalyst yesterday, after almost 200 matches since it released. It may take a while. Basing your playtime around an rng item isn't always going to give you the result you are looking for. Just play what you want and eventually the catalyst will come. I don't think catalysts NEED to be easily or quickly dropped. They are more of a bonus item that happens when it happens but I know not everyone looks at it like that. Lol, I got the suros catalyst and THEN got the vigilance wing catalyst for a kill a couple of matches later...so it's been how long that I haven't had THAT ONE? Catalysts are fine the way they are, we don't need everythING to drop immediately after its released, it adds incentive to keep playing long-tern. Regardless, Im hearing it drops mainly on wins, so maybe that's part of it.

You already have to rely on rng to get the exotic in the first place. That's fine, because while exotic weapons are unique, they are not necessarily better than the other legendary options. For example, I'd rather have a decently rolled Blast Furnace then the V-Wing. However, a gun with a catalyst active is just better. Not situationally better like having a specific roll on a legendary weapon, but just straight up better than its non-activated counterpart. I would like to see more "quest" related catalyst drops like the GL or Sunshot. V-wing isn't a great example because it just makes it full auto. Still though, that's just dumb that your V-Wing was worse than others just because you were unlucky.
