I’ve been playing almost everyday since the launch of Forsaken and gotten a total of 4 exotics and i’m far beyond the time that a casual player spends on this game. Three of these exotics has been Y1 dublicates btw (after the patch where they ”fixed” this issue)......
I know Bungie wanted them to be more rare than prior to Forsaken exotics was but I think they’ve overdone it a bit since they barely drop anymore. And don’t get me wrong, I love the grind there is to it but it has come to a point where the drop rates are too low unfortunately. A good step in the right direction could be as simple as increasing drop rates by 20-40%.
If you agree, please vote this post up so that Bungie might see it, thanks.
The trick to getting exotics is by doing all milestones on all characters. Raid, 100K nightfall, Shattered Throne, Blind Well, weeklies and dailies.
If youre relying on enemies to drop a wild exotic engram, youre going to be waiting for a long time. This is where the general complaint from most casuals are from. They just expect a wild exotic engram to drop from enemies. If that were the case, the whole community would have been swimming in exotics by now. Hence also why no one has mentioned a proper loot cave farm.
And yet, you have your supposed "Elitists" who have nearly collected all the exotics. They focus their milestones compared to casuals.
