Final edit: This is regarding having a chance of getting no drops from hard mode. A lot of people, including myself, have gotten very frustrated with this to the point where we just don't want to play anymore.
PROOF THIS IS NOT A GLITCH AND SOMETHING WHICH IS INTENDED BY BUNGIE:

It's not easy with a LFG team and after you spend a while fighting the boss, you get nothing or just normal mode loot. What's the point of doing it on Hard if you won't get loot anyway?
I've seen it all. Vault of Glass normal and hard, Crota's End normal and Hard, along with Prison of Elders. I've been through forever 29 but never complained about the rewards but this time I am as every other encounter gave you something every time.
Below is my original post.
Don't I just love it when I spend 20 min on a encounter only to get nothing? Last week it was nothing from sisters. This week, it was nothing from Golgoroth and I was the one who had the gaze. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove drops completely is a dumbass who deserves a slap to the face.
GIVE US GUARANTEED DROPS ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!
Just to clarify one thing, I'm not asking for straight 320 drops with perfect rolls. I'm just asking for drops. Now, with the variety of things you can get, you won't be done immediately. You get a drop, then it needs to be 320 and it needs desirable rolls.
For those of you saying "It has always been like this", it hasn't. I've been here since week one (Sign of Founders on my Hunter) and I'll tell you why. Before you got shards and / or energies. You could use those to upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful. You got something out of it if you remembered correctly. Now, since you don't need ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, the equivalent could be seen as weapons or gear. You use high light stuff and upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful.
If you do a normal raid and complete it, then do a hard raid, or just do a hard raid straight then you have the chance of getting nothing which has 310+ light until Oryx. What was the point of doing the previous encounters then if they don't guarantee you items? And it's not like this is infrequent. I didn't get anything from 3/5 encounters last week and 2/5 encounters this week. How is that fair?
Also, those of you calling me "entitled", I am entitled. I finished the activity therefore I earned the rewards. If you disagree with that then why not just remove loot completely from every activity?
Edit: 250+ replies. Let's keep going until Bungie sees this
Gecko 77 made a very good point:
[quote]Players should always feel like they are progressing. They should come out of the raid atleast one light level higher than when they started.[/quote]
triplearod also made another very good point:
[quote] The main difference in VoG and Crota's End is all weapons were exactly the same so you had to only get them once, low drop rate is fine in that instance. Armor may have different stat roll but the maximum light was always the same
Now were not only rolling against the chance it drops, but its Atk/Def values, and its perks. Im fine with the variance as it makes the raid more replayable, but something should drop even if it is a 310 hallowed pieces of gear. Maybe that gear will have stats & perks I like and is worth infusing up.[/quote]
Edit: RIP my notifications tbh

100% agreed, signed.

I completely agree especially when i went through hard raid with a character and got only moldering shards from 3 of the bosses... Not even a regular drop... Bungie is making me regret buying this game more and more each time i play!

Bump, haven't done it but I know the frustration, VoG was a bitch to get loot from too

Signed. It's just annoying to get nothing.

Just remove "chance" from the game altogether. So sick of chance and seeing it chances on the low side, people complain, and then they claim to fix with higher chance.

I think it has always been like this since VoG...

There truly isn't anything worse than finishing a boss and finding the only purple engram has shards in it. It takes the fun out of it when you don't know if you'll get anything at all, much less something that's better than what you already have. Hell, I still can't get a ghost past 304 thanks to the RNG in this raid and we've opened the door to the Warpriest multiple times a week since release. I just want something for my time, even if it's not necessarily better than my top equipment. I could at least infuse into something else possibly. Right now, it's gamble as to if my time will be rewarded at all or if I've just lost 1-2hrs. Disappointing.

I would sign this but I don't even care about the raid anymore. The fact that they took away elemental primaries has me never raiding again

Agree. This week I got nothing from the warpriest... That sucks.

Wish Deej would reply to legit forum posts such as this... Hump

Yeah that's so true spent so long trying to complete oryx on hard mode and when I finally did I got nothing and the raid took 60 mouldering shards 20 on each of my characters I don't understand why they have to screw people who've played this since day one and I haven't still received my soros package I don't like the way they trashed rewards on this game and really made it unpleasant to kill oryx hard mode your supposed to be happy and get decent loot after spending over 8 hours on one raid as your helping others excel but no the guys at destiny only want your money to fill their pockets not actually give you a functioning game which you've spent more then a £150 #Destinys a joke

Edited by Oli121210: 10/30/2015 12:00:12 PMWorth it; thanks for posting this. You give voice to thousands who are a combination of distressed, crestfallen, frustrated, disillusioned, horrified, mortified, beyond belief, speechless, and disliking with great intent and prejudice: this issue. Bump. Make lose win Bungee; stop milking drops and roll out new creativity! We, the Destiny community, will appreciate it :-)
