RNG is weighted differently for each player when it comes to exotics...here's why.

11 Universal Remotes 8 Plan C's 6 Truths/No Land Beyonds/Dragon's Breaths 5 Red Deaths 4 Suros Regimes/TLW's/Ice Breakers 2 Thunderlords/Hawkmoons/Monte Carlos 1Mida Multi-tool/Hard Light/Patience and Time/4th Horseman I get that RNG does handle a lot of it, but assuming all chances are supposedly the same why would I have 11 of one exotic and only 1 of another. This represents 38 chances at an exotic (excluding armors that I have rolled). If the odds were the same on all of them then I should have about 3 of each of these exotics and not varied numbers. To further explain why it is weighted, lets say this was a lottery ball drawing. If these represent the true chances that means that 11 of the balls have universal remote printed (as well as the allotted weapons printed on other balls). Now if someone were to reach in a pick one of the balls, they would have no idea which one they are drawing, but since UR has been printed on the majority there is a good chance that the person is going to draw the UR. I have also seen dozens of posts where people get varying other exotics more than other. I know for a fact a friend of mine was only missing UR recently, but constantly got thunderlord as a drop. Though I am somewhat curious as what the most exotic drops are for other people, I a beginning to think the system creates an exotic loot table for us all.

  • You need to realize that Destiny's RNG is the core of the game. It is designed to keep you pressing the red button for more candy. They think if you have all the candy you wont come back for more. This just dawned on me the other day. I am honestly so sick of the same god damn candy that I am pretty sure that I wont get any new candy anyway. If you don't like the rng take a breather. I already decided if I dont get a new exotic after all the raids and nightfalls this week that I am putting the game on the shelf until the next expansion. I have become so obsessed with the hunt for ghorn and vex that I can't even enjoy the game anymore. I even stopped badering all my friends to get the game in fear that I will have to stop my hunt to help them. So RNG here is one sure thing for once: If you waste another week of gameplay for me I will turn on you. If you don't I will go back to my not so selfish ways and help other guardians again. I kind of hope it fails me so I can go outside and enjoy the changing season.
