Firstly, hear me out. Hundreds of strikes, idk how many nightfalls over 150k, and I still dont have all the catalysts. Mind you, I have everything else. Or close to it, rather. What I dont have I know how to get for sure (not forgotten) With that in mind, catalysts aren't a unique item that you equip. They enhance a weapon / equipment. Ergo, they should not ever be more rare than the weapon itself. The original thought behind the catalysts drop rates and completion requirements was to "unlock them as you go", verbatim. If me, someone who has ridiculous amounts of time spent in raids and strikes, doesnt have all the raid and strike catalysts, how on earth do you expect the rest of the playerbase to have them ... idk. Ever? There's people I've played with that have never seen a single pvp catalyst (not mida), and they've played thousands (read, thousands) of crucible matches. Why? Why is it like this? Will you read / reply / address it? Probably not. But it feels good to rant. Edit - yes I run boons, with clan mates, ect. Edit 2 - I'm not saying make it to where you could get them all in a week, but I've been after them all since catalysts launched. Think on that for a bit. Playing through each season, except one, and doing everything dozens of times. Some, hundreds of times. Per. Season. Edit 3 - There's a difference between keeping replayability alive and making something so abysmally low in terms of drop rate that you may never get it. If it was a weapon, a ship, some cosmetic bauble (See raid ships from d1) I could see and accept it. But it's literally catalysts that somewhat enhance exotics, and imo, make them feel actually exotic in most cases. Edit 4 - If nothing else, I suggest what piles of other guardians have - bad luck protection that can be tracked. Bungie already has it in place for at least 1 item - contenders shell. The perks on it make sure you eventually get a bright engram by running leviathan or EOW. Why not a similar system for catalysts?
