Like everything else in this game some are able to receive more than others randomly. I was soloing the nightfall last night thinking. "Really the only thing I need is the etheric light." And of course I got a shitty machine gun. One more nightfall left to do. Hopefully an etheric light will drop. There are many that post how "easy" it is to get. But what's not easy for all is having nothing to do in life except play destiny. Lots of us have jobs and last night was an example of the limited time for an average working player. 2 hours of play time maybe on a work night . The rest is preparing food, shopping, laundry, and making sure the house is in order. There's no way in hell I'll be able to upgrade my favorite armor/weapons in a short amount of time. I see players with 3 34's and I realize these are probably people with limited responsibility. That's fine. I just hope I'll still be interested in a couple weeks.
