Personal experience and plus you would not see “500 clears and no vex” posts. Bungie did say something about this in a twab, can’t remember when though.

I take it you don't understand the meaning of the word random.
I got vex to drop by joining a group at atheon. That was my 2nd clear.
[quote]So you still had lootable clears when you received the Vex, that proves nothing.[/quote]
?
It proves vex can drop from check points as the poster I replied to said there is zero chance
Your taking it out of context. Checkpoint farming for exotics doesn't work reliably, Bungie said so back in June on their blog, weekly farming is for Legendary gear not Exotics. You had a lootable clear, you get three a week, after the three you are out of luck.

No.
It's one sentence, nothing taken out of context.
There is more than a zero chance to get vex from a checkpoint.
Of coarse it was a lootable clear, if it wasn't I would have had the drop.
I really don't care what bungie did or didn't say, you can get vex from an atheon checkpoint.
