Droprate of engrams in patrol got nerfed?

This is not about cave farm tactics. I mainly play patrol clearing enemies and doing public events with randoms so I now have even less chance of engrams dropping from enemies? This was already a horrible droprate/quality to begin with so I might as well give up, right?

      Ive actually been getting more legendary engrams from just running around doing events and bounties. RNG gonna RNG.

    • As far as dev notes say, engram drop rates only decrease in darkness zones after a hard wipe.

    • Whenever we participate in public events, engrams drop like rain. Late last night, they were practically back to back on the moon. Mostly blues & greens, but we got a few ascendants & motes, too. The more patrols you do, the better the drops. Patrols rank up, thanks to the grimoire cards.

      • I just did a mission on Mars and some patrols and got about 3 blues and 8 greens, although there is no point to greens now!

        • I don't believe they changed the drop rate throughout, just after a Fireteam wipe for a certain amount of time. I did patrol yesterday on Cosmodrone and got a legendary engram drop from a random level 2, along with countless (useless) green items, and a blue engram.

        • I don't even know. The loot system is so bad in Destiny. It really needs to be fixed

          • False: the low drop was a short term effect of the hard wipe for the hot fix. Drop rates are back to normal. I did 30 minutes of patrol on the moon and got 6 greens and 2 blues. Drop rates in strikes and difficult missions should also be improved. I still saw more during patrol, but did get 2 blues from a strike and 6 greens.
