I played through a few times and have most of the legendary weapons with rolls I like, but I am purposely waiting for Bungie to announce a drop rate increase before I bother. People were making assumptions that they did the same thing they had done with 1kV with the 10% increased to 50% chance with additional attempt but I didn't see anything anywhere that they had. I expect they did the same 5% drop rate they did for earlier raid exotics. Which means, at the max 27 completions this week that count there's a 74.97% of getting it.
10% of the players STILL won't have it after 45 tries, 15 straight weeks of raiding all three characters. That's over a season and in my opinion ridiculous. Everyone doing a very long, grindy quest for the same reward is one thing. One guy getting lucky week one and another guy getting "lucky" in week 20 is something completely different. Feel free to have your own opinion, but for me open ended RNG grind for the same exact item (farming god rolls is a different story) is not content. That is just creating a huge disparity in player experience.

You're 100% correct in my eyes. Its easy for people who have good or even average RNG to say the system is okay, but when you have bad RNG it can ruin your complete experience of the game. I fall on that bad-luck side (always have) and its horrible game-design to say the least. I think you nailed it head on when talking about the time difference too. People always equate the time to obtain the raid exotic to the number of clears, but that's misleading. Sure, 12 clears may not be a lot, but it takes a whole month to get those clears in. The end-all/be-all statement on this topic has always been this for me: If you have an activity where one person can spend 6+ months doing it on three characters a week, and not get the reward, but another player can get carried through that activity in 40 minutes and receive that same reward, the system is broken. I'm about to reply to the OP with my own comment but thought I'd respond to yours as well.
