How does it keep people engaged when they hand you everything without effort? The start of D2 was boring because you could get all exotics in a few weeks. Now they make it take longer, and everyone cries because they don't have every exotic in the first month.

I've only gotten the following exotics since forsaken 2 sunshots (stopped using) Lord of Wolves (don't use) Cerberus (don't use) Fighting lion (don't use) A random Wishender (will use more when it and Oathkeeper are fixed) Chromatic Fire (using until I get a good leveled wings of dawn, contraverse, or nazaric) Oathkeeper (will use when fixed) The only ones I use are Wishender and Chroma,

People complain because the current exotic drop rate sucks and duplicate year one exotics sucks worse. It doesn’t matter what D2 year one was like if the overcorrection also sucks it doesn’t get justified by the complaints of some in year 1.

Dude, I have been playing the Blind well over and over for a Seed of light...just to get my second super...still nothing...that is plain stupid to hide SOL behind RNG...good thing our original ghost wasn't RNG...some guardians would have never made it to the Farm...I am buying Red and may not stop until Borderlands 3 comes out

I dont get this logic. Obviously, not having things is worse than having everything. Why would having everything be boring? why? You have everything, you can use everything and if you get bored with something you can alternate and try a new something new. Having nothing to use is clearly the worse option because people won't be around long enough to use every exotic because Destiny is boring repetition with very little pay off. low RNG is just to mask how otherwise boring this game is. Point is, I'm saying Destiny is boring, regardless if you have everything or not. Having very little of things is even more of a problem than having everything. Nobody likes being locked out of content, why the hell would you shoot yourself in the foot?

Having all 3 characters at 600 I find little motivation to play. Once you get there you will see how little there is to do. Bungie knows this so they tried to artificially extend the game with slow progression.I hardly got any Forsaken exotics to use along the way. Such a shame. My friends have moved on and soon I will too. We may come back and visit.

I feel you there mate I haven’t got any exotic and I’m 600 allready 2 weeks I simple can’t be -blam!-et ti do anything anymore . Will probably just jump in raid to cheers that -blam!-er and try to get that exotic weapon but me knowing rng jesus it’s not on my side I probably not gonna get it ever ah well -blam!- it it’s only a game and like you said it’s really shame to not have any exotic to play with it on road to 600

then what happens when you get it? The grind goes away and it's off to the next thing? over and over again the cycle repeats itself needlessly. Look dont mind things that are specific to their activities like Raid exotics or nightfall loot. I get that. but being shown an exotic preview trailer and after a month only having 1 exotic drop, having 2 of the exotics shown behind a massive wall of levels and you still probably need friends to help you through it, with one of those exotic's perks not being accurately displayed. That is a problem. It's CoO all over again, but it's overlooked because everything looks nice and shiny.

I'd argue that it wasn't the drop rate of exotics that made D2 boring so much as the two primary weapon systems, weak supers, stunted ability trees, slowed down abilities and movements, inability to replay story missions, inability to choose Crucible modes, secret xp throttling, single use consumables, unrewarding Nightfalls, poor raid design, static weapon rolls, Eververse-centric special events, tokens tokens tokens, balancing the game around Crucible, 4v4 Crucible, crap changes to Factions, and Exotics that were [b]boring[/b] regardless of how often they did or didn't drop. OK, if people got them too often, dial the drop rate back [i]a little bit[/i], not to the current setting which is, "I haven't found any, but I heard about this one guy out in New Jersey who swears he got one." Looters that don't drop loot fast become boring no matter how hard the streamers and hardcores wish otherwise.
