Legendary lost sectors are an unrewarding end-game activity

Pretty much what the title says. Can we at least get some rewards (even if it's just a guaranteed 'legendary' grade armor piece if you don't roll an exotic) for completing legend lost sectors? It just doesn't make sense doing this end game activity (even if it's just for grinding an exotic) if at the end of it you're just walking away with 3 lousy Wishing Pieces (or nothing at all, even)

  • Yes. Lost sectors beat the hell out of some RNG grind fest bullshit to get a drop. I know I’m going to get an exotic after a few runs.

  • Just Stop putting the new Exotics in these Dumb lost sectors! Honestly I rather do quests/Buy them from Xur! Simple or not!

    • I just disagree. I like having an activity designed just to get exotics.

    • Don't give up. Every Exotic I went after, I got. The Cuirass and Mask of Bakris are worth the time. ALWAYS do Perdition on Legend Level, the easiest IMO.

    • I don’t even play them. Why run a lost sector 50+ times? Just for a shitty exotic?

        I hate Legendary lost sectors I do not have the a patience for it and the champions are two much on your own to deal with specially when there's 2 different variants (Yes I do use Champion Mods) and you dont have the perk to deal with them meaning you cant kill them both. there is a hard and challenging game play then there is just stupidly too hard!!! (Yes I do use Champion Mods)

        • You can directly farm for exotics, it’s literally the fastest and most direct source of farm. You people are -blam!-ing crazy if you think this isn’t rewarding get a grip.

          • Honestly the game just feels like gambling to me now. "Roll 5 hours of your precious time and we will reward you... maybe nothing!"

          • They all are dude. Unless you are farming for mats or get a specific roll the loot is junk. And once you have god rolls there are very few activities that can drop anything worth having at all

            It´s a (Looter) Shooter Game ... without a Loot :) After finished four times a Legend and two times Master NF Yesterday without getting a single Sniper Rifle I have decide to just quit! And to chase a godroll? Ufff... The amount of grind is ridiculous,have no incentive to play at all

          • Ran E15 about 8 times Sat/Sun for the Warlock legs. Instead I got sweet FA and then a Transverse Steps... It's not a fun way to grind :-)

          • Rewarding or not, their biggest problem is they are just incredibly and tediously boring. The game loop is just way off - you grind this drudge for what reason exactly; to make easier content easier…!? I got a sniper yesterday that I was interested in trying out but every activity dictates your loadout, played a couple of hours, logged off due to ‘repeat fatigue’…don’t know if I like the sniper…

            • I understand that me running a legendary (not master) lost sector in 5 or less minutes shouldn’t guarantee an exotic every other run, but why is glimmer on its own a reasonable reward? There shouldn’t be a world where someone can run close to 15 lls, with 9-10 of those runs rewarding either glimmer and herealways pieces (or an equivalent) or just straight glimmer on its own. At that point, it’s be more rewarding to run the base sector since I can run it faster

              • here's a cool magic trick Try putting [literally any activity in the game] before "an unrewarding end-game activity" 😐

              • I did 10 back to back sectors when I was trying to get the new hunter chest exotic awhile back and all I got were legendary gear drops, enhancement cores, enhancement prisms, and soul crushing defeat.

                • Legend lost sectors are not endgame. Master lost sectors are. Right now their drop tables and chances are identical, and that's honestly the biggest problem

                  I'm trying to grind one out for a better Ophidian Aspect roll but it's such a boring ordeal. Lost Sectors are pretty much equivalent to the DBZ fillers where all there is, is just a Saiyan screaming all the way through the episode and when it's over you just go... Oh, that's it, I got nothing special outta that... Well how's about the next episode... [spoiler]And then it's the SAME shit, Endless screaming with no rewards.[/spoiler]

                • It's sad that the main reward is 5k glimmer. On the bright side, it's a decent glimmer farm if your short and it's an easy lost sector.

                  My only issue with legend lost sectors is the timer. Yes most, if not all, can be pretty easily completed in 15 minutes. I just inherently don't like playing with timers.

                  • I don't even bother doing them at all this season and therefore i still don't have the 3 new exotics for my characters . Ask me how much i care for their hamster wheel ? I don't even do bounties because the XP you get is useless in all activities that mater (not that it shouldn't be) . I just play dungeons missions and some times raids . I use to raid more but they removed 5 raids so not so many left to play . i don't grind i just play without bothering about god rolls and stats but that's just me .

                  • That's why I ran it just once for the weekly challenge. No point in dealing with that hassle just to hope you get an exotic.

                    I did near 40 runs before I could get a crap rolled Bakris when they first came out, then never bothered again. Rgn reward, is not worth the effort and investment. Specially if one is able to solo them.
