Update: Perk weighting was just confirmed by bungie. Good thing I didn't waste time farming for it because the drop rate would still be terrible without it. I believe bungie when they say there isn't any intentional perk weighting, but it's also very realistic for this kind of thing to show up as a bug and go unnoticed. Whether there is or isn't perk weighting really doesn't matter though. Here's the issue. When you want a specific weapon (new dungeon gl) with 2 specific perks (not even barrels or mags) having a 1 in 6 chance to get the weapon you want and then a 1 in 36 chance at getting the combination of the main 2 perks that you want (assuming there really isn't perk weighting), and let's say it takes 5 minutes per run on average, after 12.5 hours of pure farming there's only about a 50% chance that you'll have the gun you wanted if my math is correct. 12.5 hours just to get to the probability of a coin toss. This is one roll for one weapon. Most farms for a specific roll you want are almost this bad and many are much worse. (We'll need to farm new armor sets starting in Apollo btw, which is arguably way worse than weapon farming but don't get me started on that.) This problem should've been solved with crafting, but the way crafting was implemented completely sidestepped the problem. Crafting should either be a sytem where this shitty unreasonable rng slowly contributes to the crafting (for example having a gun drop with a certain perk allowing that perk to become craftable on that gun) for every gun in the game, or it should be removed entirely and in it's place we should have reliable methods to farm every weapon in a reasonable amount of time, or it should be some combination of the two. Instead crafting is still just "do the activity once a week and ignore random drops until you craft it" we just have less of that now and more mind numbing shitty rng farms. Into the light onslaught is an example of decent target farming, though not the best, the new revenant onslaught on the other hand is basically a complete waste of time because you can't get what you want from it and you can just use a potion anywhere in the game to get what you want more reliably with very little effort. I think this is why so many people complain about drops not being meaningful enough and crafting being bad, when it takes several hours just to get a specific weapon roll then it has to be crazy just to be worth the effort, and when crafting is just "do the activity once a week" it's not fun. TLDR: The farm for the new dungeon heavy gl is so damn bad that an entire conspiracy popped up around it, if bungie would just make it reasonable to farm what you want then -blam!- like this wouldn't happen. Most farms are like this and it's not fun. Edit:For the dungeon the perfect fix would be a choice between an armor and weapon chest for each encounter reward to fix both weapon farming and artifice farming, and some kind of special triumph that would unlock extra perks options on weapons, either in one column or both. For the rest of the game we need reliable farms for anything that isn't craftable, and for anything that is craftable it shouldn't just be play the activity once a week, it should be something where your weapon drops contribute to the crafting. An example would be every drop of a craftable weapon unlocking the perks it rolled with to be craftable, but this would only really work for low drop rate weapons or else you would unlock everything too quickly.
