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

Rngesus loves me, I've had 8 drops out of 10 reward chances however I understand the point you're making. Nobody wants to be stuck at a lower level light, if they did there'd be no point playing the game ( from a character progression POV ) But, in actual fact if you're at the point where you are comfortably killing HM bosses you don't NEED the gear, you WANT it. I've played actual MMOs where I've had zero loot drops for several weeks and there is no work around for it, at least with destiny the whole equipment management is child friendly with the whole infusion poop. I don't agree that you should be guaranteed something off any 1 boss, but I do think mouldering shards should player a bigger part. There should be some form of raid currency (replaces the lack of shards on hard)that lets you purchase a specific piece (with a random roll). That way if you're missing a specific piece for the shader you can just buy it and be done with it. This way you would get 1 piece a week per character minimum.

Agreed and signed. I'd rather have a 300 item drop than nothing at all.

i probably already signed this but signed again

YEAH i agree! Its pretty hard entering a raid and getting nothing. but then again the same goes towards strikes. I agree though... if i go into a raid i would at least like to go up just 1 light level. PLEASE BUNGIE CHANGE THIS

The drops are horrendous. It's a complete let down. Last week I beat oryx on hard 3 times. I didn't get a weapon or armor on any character. I did however get: Titan: 314 mark Hunter: 314 cloak Warlock: 310 bond That was it. Nothing else. This week I beat once and again no weapon and my armor was lower than a piece I got previously. It's very disappointing.

Done Kings Fall Raid on Hard on two characters thinking it was a fluke, but no. I received 4 moldering shards for entire raid on my warlock and on hard oryx it even took my 20 shards for absolutely no rewards whereas last week I was getting 3 drops per boss. Second character nothing period. This comment is me signing your petition/complaint for bungie to fix this colossal -blam!- up.

I have an effective way of getting this post some attention. Everyone who does a Raid checkpoint and either gets no reward or gear Lower than your previous gear post about it. [b]Just beat war priest and Golgoroth. Didn't get anything. [/b]
