This is a reward mechanic that is not compelling or interesting in any way, is not a measure of ability or skill, and the only challenge it presents the player with is one of patience for dealing with this terrible reward mechanic. People don’t play games to have their patience tested. They play it to have fun, to escape, for good stories, and/or to be competitive. An incredibly low RNG drop rate does not fulfill any of the core reasons people play games. It’s a lottery, and the thing that is gambled is player time and patience. The notion of rarity regarding an in game item should not come at the cost of basic enjoyment. We saw this sentiment throughout the community very heavily with Vex, as we have in the past, and yet here we are AGAIN. The latest raid exotic also represents a missed opportunity considering the nature of the raid. There could have been a community puzzle involving the symbols, or at the very least, something for individuals teams to figure out and do to trigger a quest to get it. Not only that, this is an exotic that explicitly relies on the void subclass, during this season of renewed void subclasses, where the focus is on void all throughout the game, mainly the artifact mods. So what will happen here is that MANY players won’t get it until AFTER this season is over and we see renewed Arc and Solar subs and where the focus will be on these elements, making the raid exotic irrelevant for quite some time. And then what happens if/when we get a new subclass entirely come Lightfall? Still irrelevant since the focus will be on that. I just really don’t think that you thought ahead when it comes to this. This is going to be a pain point for the community until Lightfall and beyond with the abysmal drop rate of this reward mechanic that completely lacks any redeeming qualities. Thank you to anyone that reads this. My only wish is to improve the experience of the game and its endgame.
