Lol in addition to 2.0 I know of 4 more loot caves.

I like how no one reads bungies note saying that they're addressing the loot issue

[quote]You should have fixed your pathetic excuse for a loot system. On top of that reducing engram drops during missions is perhaps the dumbest thing you have done in regards to Destiny. The reason people farmed the cave is hardly anything else in the game gives rewards worth investing the time in to get them. Strikes can take anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, and for me anyways the rewards have always been garbage. Redoing story missions at higher difficulty should have higher rewards. Last but definitely not least, the stupid cryptard hardly ever gives something decent, even at level 15+ so before nerfing something, fix the problem not the symptom.[/quote] Lower level mobs should never have been allowed to drop viable loot. Common theme in mmos. Decreasing the rate also in missions and raids is not the solution though.

Stop giving praise and worship to that stupid cave. It's so pathetic seeing people become MORE upset about the patches just because their engram fountain is being cut off. Why do you people insist on leaving your loot gathering up to total chance???? If you spent an equal amount of your time doing strikes or playing in the crucible you could've had plenty of legendary equipment by now.

I saw a max of 5 people at the cave at any one time. What is the BFD that required a nerf?

They are fixing the loot, get over it, earn your shit and stfu or find another loot cave cuz i know some weiner already posted a new one

If I spend a few hours playing and come across a legendary engram, then I want legendary gear from it not a pair of uncommon boots like I always seem to get.

Ugh try harder get loot repeat its simple why is this a problem

Ummm where did you read that they're reducing the drop rate of engrams? Cuz I just read over the dev notes again and this is what I found [quote]But shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. Our hope is that social engagement in public spaces is only one part of the Destiny experience. Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.[/quote] note the end of that paragraph, decrease efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly [b]increase engram drops from completing activities[/b], so your facts are messed up

I'm level 24 cryptarch I have a legendary engram's right now I'm heading to tower...... Ok ship just got there I'm walking to cryptarch guy..... Now to encrypt my legendary engram's.......moment of silence...."hoping for something legendary and good" ascendent energies 2 of them....I'm sorry but I'm about to flip the -blam!- out -blam!- YOU AND THIS -blam!-ING SYSTEM BUNGIE THIS IS BULLSHIT HOW YOU SET THIS UP SO MUCH FOR HIGHER CRYPTARCH LEVEL BETTER GEAR ITS ALL -blam!-ING BULLSHIT YOU ARE LYING TO US GAMERS THAT WORKED FOR THIS AN I GET THAT????? YOU GUYS REALLY OUT DID YOURSELVES ON PISSING OFF SO MANY PEOPLE GOOD -blam!-ING JOB

I've also noticed a lack of variety. I think if they had more loot (ala borderlands) it would help me stand out a little. Before I got any purple gear I was in overwhelmed by the same guns appearing in my inventory. All had the same level cap. I didn't get more options to create my character. It was the same as the beta. So I thought I'll stand out with my gear! Well, since I can't get a legendary to drop no matter what I do I leveled my crucible so I could buy some armor. I bought a coat (I'm a warlock), but because I can only view it from the waste up I get a coat that looks like I'm ready for the rodeo. I feel like a rodeo clown complete with western buckles and a burlap looking sash thing it even has tassels). I've tried changing colors but nothing looks good. I then leveled my vanguard to get a different coat only to get the same coat without the rodeo clown paint. All the guns and gear looks the same. In all that leveling, strike missions on the hardest level, bounties, and even farming(I was desperate) I got 1 purple drop. It turned blue. I did get a purple from "cryptard" that turned into a purple helmet...for a Titan. A lot of people on here say it isn't supposed to be easy. I get that. I want to keep playing and to get me to keep playing I need an incentive to do so. I just really feel like I'm chasing a carrot on a stick and I'm never gonna get the carrot. A continuing theme here I the forums is "quit whining about the cave and work harder, noob". I have worked hard. All my gear was bought which means I EARNED it. I'm lvl 27.

Bungie should of made the loot cave a mission/event/open world area. Fireteams fight to get an area with a bunch caves as for spawn points the longer you stay and the more people that are there increases the enemy's level, types if enemies, and how many of them that spawn. At the same time longer stay and amount of enemy's players kill increase engram drop rates, increases engram rarity, upgrade materials drop chances. Players do this till they all get killed or choose to leave when things are to hard for them.

Something else I forgot to mention is the 100 vanguard/crucible marks cap. This cap can easily be reached within a few days, why limit gear progression? Daily events also should gives rewards every time no matter what. Doesn't have to be ascendant material (even though they should) it could be planet specific resources, i.e. spinmetal for earth based public events.

Don't worry the fix is coming!

Why you need loot cave when you got xür

you cant be serious. it is SO EASY to level up and just buy the legendary gear. All you have to do is side missions, strikes, Bounties (all 5 daily) and public events. I already got 90 Vanguard Points and 1000 Vanguard Rep points in 3 days. And before you say "well I don't want to grind the same spots" There are 4 worlds and you can just switch it up and gain points in no time. why are you relying so much on Loot drops?
