I can’t even get a pinnacle chest price on Titan. Every week just gives me anything except the one thing I need.

OP, they did. I think the threshold is 50 runs for raids DSC and after. If you minmax it, 3x a week, it's still almost 17 weeks to get the guaranteed drop, but it's guaranteed at a certain point around the 50 run mark. It'd sure be nice if Bungie put in bad luck protection for just normal raid and dungeon guns, though. Y'all might not be having a problem with this, but 5 pieces of armour and a gun is not a rewarding experience, especially when the last time I saw a 66+ stat piece of raid/dungeon armour was over two years ago. Of the last 150 dungeons and raids I've run, only 2 dropped more than 1 gun, 20 of the last 24 Duality runs dropped nothing but armour.

Raids: RNG up to 20 clears then it’s guaranteed Dungeons: Same as raids Legend lost sector: Platinum- 50% Gold-25% Silver-12.5% None-6.25% Master lost sectors: Platinum-100% Gold-50% Silver-25% None-12.5%

[quote]Has been brought up many times before. No luck with exotic drop so you just keep running the same thing over and over and over until you become burned out and walk away from the game. This is unhealthy for the player, and the game. Yes the player controls their behavior, but the developer also has controls. Bad luck protection to prevent this, and is easy enough to implement; many games have it. That way you would know that if you run a raid, dungeon etc so many times you will get the drop. Each successive run increases the drop chance until you get that weapon or exotic drop. A huge QOL thing Bungie could implement, but has not yet.[/quote] That’s the exact opposite of the issue. It’s unhealthy for the game to have no rare loot. There is no uncommon items in this game anymore. Gone are the days of educating rare drops. One of the biggest things killing the game.

I solo mastered a lost sector, flawlessly by the way, just sayin. I ran it several times and got no exotic helmet for my Titan. I'M MISSING 3 EXOTIC HELMETS.

OR...you can stop whining and acting entitled to what is specifically supposed to be the rarest loot in the game. Raid exotics arent even supposed to hardly ever drop in the 1st place.... Stg you guys wouldnt survive D1, where just legendaries were harder to get than exotics are now.

RNG exotics are purely there to waste as much time as possible of their hardcore players. They WANT to waste our time. Thats why we havent seen bad luck protection yet. They had exotic quests for legend of acrius and divinity. Those were respecting players time. Thats why they stepped away from quests for almost every other following raid/dungeon. People were "done" too quickly. They see the short term benefit of player engagement number. People like me burned out from all of these stupid time disrespecting implementations and stopped playing endgame such as raids and dungeons entirely. Will never touch any new raids ever again after these abysmal drop rates and feeling forced to do 3 runs every single reset. And then they came up with their fake drop rate increase via triumphs that did nothing. We cant prove that it didnt do anything either cause at the end of the day rng is rng. Even with a potential 90 % drop change due to all triumphs done, it can technically still take you 100 runs. Its rng. And that system stinks and will always be bad. We need actual quests back for every raid/dungeon exo or im not touching em anymore. They lost so many players.

Running repeatedly in any one week won't help as only the first run on each character per week has a chance of getting the exotic drop. Increased chances after each qualifying fail is not a bad idea however. It took me nearly 2 seasons to get the sword from Duality but at least this time I got the sidearm after a few weeks.

They implemented it in certain raids and put a cap on it; DSC/LW. While I like the boosters; I think the best exotic implementation so far was Crota's exotic. Chance for random drop OR a lengthy quest.

A topic that has been preached for years now. It was nice that they added in the triumph boosts for things like the dungeon exotics and I'm fairly certain that at one point there was mention of where consecutive runs on the DSC raid improved the EoT drop rate, but this late into the game would make any sort of qol improvements feel hollow and in poor faith to keep players invested. Too little, too late and all that. I wouldn't be surprised if they did implement bad luck protection for end-game exotics after TFS, but most us have seen the red flags. For some of us, TFS is gonna be a 2nd Rise of Iron + Age of Triumphs and that'll be the end of Destiny(or so we hope).
