OPs post is filled with so much garbage most people won't understand what he is trying to say. He believes that destiny doesn't use a balanced drop rate, that certain items (like hawkmoon in this case) have a lower multiplier. His example was if there was 10 exotics in the game, during a roll to get an exotic it would be 10% per each one, so statistically after getting 10 in a row it should be extremely rare to get the same exotics consistently without get some of the others first (I've gotten 7 hard lights in a row). In a weighted system the more rare items have a lower drop rate. So if the hawkmoon was the only weighted exotic at a 1% drop rate, the other 9 would have an 11% drop rate. People also believe that the thunderlord and ghorn are among some other exotics that have lower drop %. Here's the thing... We were never told that destiny doesn't have a weighted drop system, and for just about every game that I've played that uses drops, they utilize some system like this in order give items some feeling of rarity.

  • Yeah but it's more complicated than that. They use the statistics that they collect already AND whether or not you have had a weapon before to determine your favorite weapons, or most likely to go after weapons, and then they alter drop rate percentages to keep you chasing the carrot. It's dishonest, deceptive.

    I'm pretty sure they don't know what weapon you "really" want. I love scout rifles, they are my favorite weapon, I've gotten about 20 MIDA multi tool drops. I hate pulse rifles, barely ever use them, I've only gotten 1 red death. By your logic the pulse rifle would be the weapon I got more. Hard light and ghorn were the only two original exotics that eluded me during pre TDB and even during TDB. My first 2 weeks of HoW I got 7 hard lights and the ghorn. It's still just a numbers game, but they most likely (won't say definitely) aren't messing with % to screw individuals, but probably are messing with them to make certain weapons harder to obtain.
