Im not saying that they need to be incredibly common or in anyway guaranteed. What i am saying is that 200+ drops and not a single shiny drop is actually insane. Like i get its supposed to be rare but at this rate i wont get a single drop for half the weapons by the time the shiny drop disappears when the final shape launches. At this rate its not even worth grinding for.
Bungie literally has coding so that the more you play, the less likely it is to get what you want. They do this because they know you will continue to play. New players, returning from break and very casual players wil tend to have better drop rates to keep them close to your earning the same weapons, exotics etc.
Be nice to be a higher drop rate but, lets face it.. does it matter what is on the outside? its what it does that actually matters. If it works, I don't care if it looks like a twig or worse.. a big black tire iron.. if it works.. I will use it.
