Edit: this post is outdated, got everything thing I needed from Crota on Hard, including Necrocasm, won't be touching the raid again anytime soon. [spoiler]Just defeated Crota again for this week (edit: the second week of the raid), my team cries out in joy for their new weapons, shaders, and ships. I was hoping to get another weapon or something from Crota but all I got was 3 Radiant Shards. 3 RADIANT SHARDS FROM CROTA. I didn't think it would happen but Bungie just gave me a new reason to hate this raid. And I didn't even get any new armor or weapons anywhere else in the raid, just Radiant materials. I beat Crota, I should be rewarded like the rest of my team. Now I have to wait another week to try Crota again... probably to get only another 3 Radiant Shards. But really Bungie, after beating Crota, nobody should be excluded from getting rewarded in the Raid. Was it because I ran with the sword that I did not get rewarded? Or was just your RNG deciding: "Hey, he spent hours with people to beat Crota, I think I know what he wants." "A weapon? Armor?" "3 Radiant Shards, that seems fair." "...what?" Seriously Bungie, Do not make this an official reward for beating Crota. It was unfair for the time I spent in the raid. It does not encourage people to come back, it pisses them off. Right now, I feel ripped off from Crota's End raid, I really do. And Bungie wonders why we try to find tricks/glitch/shortcuts for our stuff. We do it so we don't feel ripped off, like all that time was for nothing. Bungie, fix the end of Crota's End. Nobody deserves to be rewarded like that in a raid, nobody. Edit: Getting some better luck now but the raid still takes forever with so many glitches in it. I'd be fine now getting any Radiant material but I am still getting annoyed because my team has to repeat round after round all because the sword disappears, or ogres come out early, or Crota not kneeling down after 5 maxed ghorns pelt him.
