Let me start by saying I've completed the Crota raid since its first appearance (at least) 3 times every week. When hard mode came out, I've beaten it on normal first and then on hard to ensure I have every opportunity to get the black hammer. I am still missing 2 normal weapons.
Here's why I think it's broken.
It seems as though the more you beat Crota (normal) the less chance you have at getting a weapon drop. I've helped a lot of newcomers beat their first Crota raid and have seen the black hammer (or any weapon) drop over and over. This is not a "I'm bitter because I haven't received the weapon I want" thread, although I definitely am bitter about it. I truly think there is something flawed here because not only haven't I gotten the gun I want I have not gotten ANY weapon drops off of Crota (normal) since the 3rd or 4th week of its lifespan. I have also noticed that no one who's done the raid every week (3x) has gotten a weapon drop from Crota (normal) in quite some time.
I am seriously considering deleting a character just so I can start over and run Crota for a fresh chance at drops because as it stands now, there seems to be no hope. What are the chances I'll get a weapon drop at all let alone the one I've been waiting for?
EDIT: After reading through comments, I'm convinced there's something broken about normal mode. HM gives a drop every single time and NM gives nothing since week 3? Yeah. Broken.
Has anyone else experienced this? Thoughts?
