RNG raid exotics are just bad design. It's the SOLE reason why I don't bother raiding in this game. I don't like getting -blam!- over as much as the broader D2 community does.
I've been asking for raid exotic quests for years and getting flamed for it every time. Blows my mind there are so few players who actively want them back.

Agreed. Quests are better. Feeling of accomplishment > feeling of randomly getting lucky.

Exactly! I'll never forget the accomplishment I felt when I earned OG Malice and Outbreak!

I’m with you, quests are so much more fun! Divinity was hard but it was so cool, and you only have to do it once! The PUZZLE once mind you people will still do the raid. Grasp of Avarice dungeon was awesome cuz it was a quest for Ghorn! Collectibles gave you an ornament, then hidden chests dropped the catalyst. Way better than Duality but at least Heartshadows catalyst was a little puzzle quest. Spire sucks it’s rng for the weapon, rng on master for the catalyst. 0 drive to get it really and makes me not want to buy this next dungeon pass

That's what I liked about quests. If you actually put in some effort you can earn it. And then you can go on to helping others earn the weapon too. That's one of the biggest reasons my friends and I stopped playing really. Its no fun being the odd person out constantly watching your friends get all the fun stuff while you sit and get nothing. So we just raid in other games that reward us all equally. If not by quests, then we can pool our resources together and really help them get the best gear that way instead. Destiny just wants to squeeze blood from a stone.
