Although RNG is a pain, I still like it because when I do get something good, I can say that it is worth it. A friend of mine got a monte carlo at skirmish after playing a long time and needless to say, he was ecstatic.

    You can be ecstatic, but still won't feel like you earned it. Just because someone plays the lottery every week for 5 years doesn't mean he deserved it. Doing something difficult and getting something of equal caliber in return is rewarding. RNG is lazy. -Example- For those who are always saying "Have you beaten hard mode VoG? No? then stop complaining." Yes, yes I have beaten hard mode. Officially as of yesterday. So with 2 weeks of normal VoG and this week of Hard VoG would you like to know what loot I have recieved? I'll tell you anyways 6 Ascendant Energies 41 Ascendant Shards 1 Found Verdict 1 Aspect of Glass That's it. Do you think 3 raids, one of them being the hardest thing in the game currently, is deserving of that? That is all I have gotten. I may sound like an ass, but I am my clan's leader and coordinate my raid teams perfectly. I spend free time at work, granted I have a lot of it, making spreadsheets and schedules for our different raid groups. I coordinate the raid itself for our main group. I carry our team with the help of my best guy, the only one that does better than me. We had two guys get mythoclast, the sparrow, and a purple gun. I am happy for them, but I'm still pretty upset that I haven't received anything for all of my efforts. My efforts that would not have gotten any of my clan the progress they have now without me. They are great players and if not in this clan, would probably be in another that would have gotten them the same things, but still. Someone, somewhere is getting screwed because of RNG. -EDIT- There is a reason I don't play the lottery or slots or roulette. I am not lucky. I have never been a lucky guy besides one incident in my life. I have swayed from all sorts of luck, religion, or anything that is out of my control because I feel that the things I do in my life or that happen to me is of my own or another's doing.

  • Like yourself, I am a clan leader and I work together with the admins at accomplishing our goals from strikes, raids, to pvp, and etc. Like yourself, I do have outside responsibilities stemming from having a real job, engaging in outside activities, and etc. When I have time (which I occasionally do), I spend it contributing to the clan/alliance in getting things done whether it is a raid, PvP, or whatever. Just putting in my two cents on this matter, but I think certain aspects of the game should have RNG affecting loot like during crucible, pve, and bounties. maybe then I could see it being reasonable and worth it regarding RNG. Regarding raids, strike, and the like, I believe that there should be a better rate of drop like those in WoW, Borderlands, and so forth if this sounds reasonable enough. As a veteran of WoW and Borderlands, I sorta find that more reasonable in that respect and more worthwhile if it could be an option. Other than that stuff like what I had mentioned already (PvP/PvE/etc) should still have the RNG. The reason why is because while playing crucible, there isn't much of an entitlement to it like there is in a raid and the rarity of the loot should be randomized. Then again, these are my opinions. To each their own.

  • There should be loot tables in higher level strikes, nightfall based on which strike it is that week, and raid. PvP can be RNG for PvP gear. Guns that have radar active while looking down sights and the sort.
