Believe it or not; took 5 weeks off from the game. Played daily since day 1, wanted gally never got it. Came back on after the 5 week break and got it from the gorgon chest.

Bungie's interpretation of RANDOM Upon account creation (not a character) lock out one of valuable Exotics to assure never ending grind....

So you edit this saying it's not about Gjallarhorn, it's just about the one exotic you can't get. Then when I look at your Grimoire the only weapon you don't have is a Gjallarhorn. That leads me to believe you posted this just because you don't have a Gjallarhorn. Hope you get it soon... It's the best. I love mine.

I have a few opinions on the matter of loot in this game. A few of these are apparent and actually happening to people (myself included) I believe in some way or another (I cannot, and wouldn't take the time to, show you numbers) that the loot is predetermined. You have a set loot table per character, and those items drop for you. Some items may not be in that table, thus, never getting the items. It's just a hunch, and I am more than likely wrong. But it feels like it. It shouldn't feel like it. Everything you get doesn't feel random at all. Truly random would leave you surprised. Even if it's a duplicate item. Perhaps we think too far into it and the random chance of one of these items (not being many items in the game just yet) dropping isn't that low, so we get them frequently. It could have been that Gjallarhorn or Hawkmoon, but it randomly chose the 5th Icebreaker instead, randomly. It's just so random on so many different levels that it breaks itself in every possible way leading it into a crazy inception style random rngesus that implodes into itself while deciding what loot to give you. I think it's either WAY TOO SIMPLE, or WAY TOO COMPLEX. Bungie had a philosophy with Destiny. They wanted to emphasize the importance of Destiny being majorly an Action Shooter game, with some rpg elements. They said this many times. If this is the case, why make it so damn near impossible to acquire a tool in the arsenals, ENTIRELY DEFEATING THE PURPOSE of the simplicity in an action game. This is a shooter. We should have some fraction of an ability to perhaps work towards unlocking the items we need. Making some things truly random as the only means of attaining said item is kind of bullshit, because we are all playing this shooter together, we should have to tools necessary to participate in the game. Some powerful weapons or armor totally counters other weapons and armor. If one person has it over another, they could completely mop the floor with you effortlessly. If you had the proper tools, or the necessary requirements met, you too could gain access to that power and be able to at least counter the weapon / armor that was wrecking your face to begin with. I'm not saying to be handed all the good items in the game for free. But there should at least be some sort of progressive system that allows you to work towards a powerful item, but you earned it, and went through hardships and trials and tribulations trying to get it in the first place. Making its power all the more appreciated when you finally receive the item you worked for. That's how I think every single piece of equipment in this game should work. Every single exotic piece of gear should have an in depth quest line that takes you on a perilous journey with lots of annoying and challenging things to do during the journey making that experience something to remember when you finally grab that weapon from the pedestal you took it from deep within that vault on Venus last week. Things like this would fix the loot system. You would have it, if you took the time to earn it. If you didn't have it, you would know that there is a way to get it, so you can have it too. It would create way more depth, rather than some random system deciding whether or not you can get to 32 this week, or maybe some day down the road (current situation with my warlock) My extremely long rant. But sometimes you just got to lay it all out there. I probably missed some things too. Pardon any grammatical errors. I didn't proofread this, it's a lot to go thru, and I'm not really feeling nit-picky at the moment. But if you read all that then let's hear what you think. Cheers! Edit - on a final note, what I have typed up here would ENTIRELY, COMPLETELY, DESTROY the debate of whether you earned something or not. Just thought I'd put this here too. Because it's true.

I hate the term RNG, when in reality it's WNG. Weighted Number Generator. For something to be TRULY random all probabilities have to be equal. Ofcourse it can be KINDA random, but that defies the definition itself.

Another G horn post? Ugh these will never die, but neither will I with my 4 g horns in the last two weeks. I'm starting to dismantle em now

When anyone gets annoyed about the RNG just watch this, makes me laugh every time http://youtu.be/Ylp583mJa2Q

Just got my 5th gally. Need truth

I think we need an in depth discussion of what random means... But what you're asking for is a non random drop mechanic. I'm not saying it's good or bad but might as well be clear on what were talking about here.
