You have a good but flawed theory. I don't agree that some guns aren't on the table, but just harder to pull. Let's say there are 3 loot tables, each with 3 exotics. Each table has 100 items in it: [u]table1[/u] 60 ghorn 39 suros regime 1 hawkmoon [u]table 2[/u] 60 suros regime 39 hawkmoon 1 ghorn [u]table 3[/u] 60 hawkmoon 39 ghorn 1 suros regime Now based on your theory that each profile is assigned a loot table on creation, a player getting table 3 in my example may pull the hawkmoon a lot, but play 1500 hours before seeing a suros. This would explain why people have every exotic, and also explain why some people have pulled multiples of one item, but have never seen another. EDIT: I've pulled at least 2 of every exotic gun, but have never gotten a red death nor a vex. I've pretty much written those two off as "aint happenin"
