You should just stop with these posts asking for our comments. It's painfully clear you will never be able to bring out the full potential of Destiny.

Offtopic FTW! Destiny and Diminishing Returns RNG I'm sure many of you are aware of the popular MMO Guild Wars 2. One of the main reasons I stopped playing was because of a horrible diminishing return system woven into the game. For anyone unfamiliar with what a diminishing returns system is: basically a system that progressively reduces your rewards proportional to the amount of time spent doing the activity that grants rewards. The more you farm, the less you actually receive from farming. The decision to implement this kind of system prevent hardcore players from advancing well beyond casual players. It also prevents players from setting up gold farming businesses because it makes farming for one particular item very difficult. On the flip side, the system has a sort of anti-quitting mechanic. The game trends the amount of time you play the game, and upon sensing that you are losing interest...*Bing* you are granted a nifty item to regain your interest in the game. What is the opinion of the community on this issue? Is the RNG truly RNG? In my personal experience, whenever I take a break from Destiny, I'm left feeling like I am unusually lucky when I return (for example I took a month off to be promptly rewarded with an exotic from a vanguard strike as soon as I returned). Also, in PvP it seems most exotics are given to players inexperienced or do not play that often. Keyword is SEEMS - people will most likely remember the asinine experience of the player in last place getting the exotic while the top players get nothing. Players less likely to remember the top players getting an exotic, as this would seem "normal." So to me, I'm going with the conspiracy theory that Bungie has data logged so much information on players that it has algorithms built in that manipulate players to stay in the game - VERY SUCCESSFULLY. This applies to both drops and XuR's selection. Obviously drops would be weighted per player, Xur weighted on the community as a whole. TL:DR The more you play the weaker the rewards. RNG is not RNG. *EDIT* I found it very suspicious that the exotic I was rewarded with from a vanguard strike after taking a month off (basically after TDB dropped) was... surprise surprise No Land Beyond. A TDB exotic to tickle my interest in the expansion.

You -blam!-ed up with heavy ammo kills in crucible u dummy

why was this thread necro'ed? are people that stupid? 1.1 does not = 1.1.1

I don't understand why heavy ammo doesn't drop from guardian kills who have heavy ammo in the cruicible. That was the whole strategy in saving your super for the heavy ammo spawn. Please explain. I don't mean to be rude, I'm just curious why this was changed.
