I feel the whole "carrot" thing makes perfect sense, but misses the point, somewhat. The dangling carrot may be the promise of potential loot, but look further than the carrot. I looked beyond the carrot following my pitiful Nightfall rewards this week. I own every exotic weapon in the game aside from the Suros (through choice), the Necrochasm because of no Crux drop and the Thunderlord, which is the one weapon I've been hoping for since launch. Every week Nightfalls and Raids deny my hopes for the Thunderlord. Following this weeks Nightfalls and Crota's End normal and hard, still nothing. In my despair I was struck with realisation. What is the point in obtaining a Thunderlord? All I'm going to do with it is play all the same content over and over again, this time with no carrot at all. The point is, we need the carrot. Unfortunately for myself and no doubt countless others, we're quickly running out of carrots to chase.
