Legend Lost Sectors, Exotic Grinding and Why it Feels Bad.

I think this problem is 2 fold, Content repetition and Non-guaranteed rewards. Content Repetition - Want a exotic chest piece? Run this same Lost sector 100 times. What about Vex Mythoclast? Hope you like running Atheon cause that's all you're going to do until you die. Why do we have to run the same content endlessly until we burnout? Non-guaranteed rewards - Oh you've been running that lost sector for that piece of armor you want, how about some glimmer for your trouble. Still haven't gotten Vex after 100 tries? maybe one day kid, keeping banging your head against the wall. This isnt to say the drop should be guaranteed, but something of value should be especially in LLS where you're hoping for a 1 in 14 for the arms piece you want with a slim chance at the stat roll you want on top of a god knows what percent chance there's a drop at all. I feel like I have a fairly simple and elegant solution to this that doesn't eliminate that treadmill, carrot on a stick grind but allows players to be rewarded for playing the game and also see a light at the end of the grind tunnel. A guaranteed currency drop at the end of exotic dropping activities, similar to spoils of conquest, that would allow you to pull an armor piece from collection with a high stat roll. This would allow players who are tired of grinding the lost sector endlessly to play something else like Trials, Raids, Dungeons, GMs or any master level content (wellspring, ketchcrash) to accumulate this currency. Exotic farming should be part of the fun of doing hard content not in its own little pocket on the side locked in the only solo content in the game. You would still have your chance at random drops but now you are guaranteed progression towards the thing you actually want. As for raids and dungeon exotics I think there should be a pity counter for the exotic or the ability to farm to get it whether that's this new currency or the existing spoils. But no one likes rounding up there 5 friends who all have gotten the drop to grind more of the same raid boss this weekend. people want to get on with the new stuff.
