Exotic weapon catalysts across the board are a cumbersome kludge to boost player playtime.
I understand why Bungie implemented them like that (desperate times, desperate measures), but between the massive RNG involved in the initial drops for many of the catalysts, the disparity of difficulty of simply participating in activities involved in making the drops happen (a raid is much more involved to even attempt than simply a world drop or crucible drop, for example), and the fact that additional grind is required after obtaining the catalyst (which may further force play of non-matchmade activities), it’s an unengaging and utterly unbalanced nightmare.
Leaving some catalysts impractical to obtain or grind for is unbalanced and problematic.
Leaving some catalysts outright unobtainable is unbalanced and unacceptable.
Leaving some exotic weapons without catalysts entirely is also unbalanced and unacceptable.
Exotic catalysts are a mess Bungie needs to clean up. Shoving any of them behind raids or raid lairs was never a good idea, to say the least.

Exotic catalysts are great. The only problem is we need more of them. They are top tier loot and should be difficult to obtain. PVE needs to be harder in general anyway.

Your rear end is unbalanced and unacceptable.

All 3 raid catalyst are easily obtained, not there problem if players are un-willing to go after them. There drop rate is also very high, first prestige EoW all 6 of use hot the telesto catalyst before the last boss fight and never had to go farther then the jumping puzzle chest in SoS to get the sleeper catalyst.

Edited by Corrick II: 3/2/2019 12:05:58 AMWere they all players you regularly run with? Was this recently or a while ago? And are you a sorcerer of some kind to have such good RNG luck? I tried for an entire weekend to get a group together to run the prestige raid for Sleeper and never got a full team. I would love to know what I'm doing wrong if it's so easy, other than "not having any friends" or some crap.

For EoW that was week one of prestige, last week took 4 noobs through SoS for the sleeper catalyst
