Not saying I disagree. But if players don’t want to keep replaying the raid after 1 exotic drops. Then there is a problem with loot incentive and fun factor. Saying this 1 exotic gives the raid replay ability shows that bungie can’t incentives players with the legendary weapons/armor or a fun factor. Instead of keeping players returning thro RNG perhaps we should be looking at why players don’t want to continue running the raid after the exotic drops. I know I continued to run leviathan even after forsaken cause I thought it was a fun raid. Same with VOG in destiny 1. I feel that players don’t wanna run the raid because the weapons they want to drop have around 33-50% of dropping and the rolls they want have less than a 1/150 chance. Throw that in with the fact they can only try a max of 3 times per week and u get a “why try when I’m not gonna get what I want after 3+ hours”. Especially if u already have a masterworked set of armor without the resources to masterwork a whole new set, the armor drops are useless. So now 50% of the drops are undesirable. And u have to wait a week for 50% of the drops to be undesirable again. If bungie allowed two chests for players to choose from each encounter, 1 armor chest and 1 weapon chest, I feel more players would play the raid longer.

I think you shared very fair points. DSC also adding the spoils chest at the end is contributing to playability as well.
