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]

You sir are an idiot. It's called RNG. I ran through las week on one of my characters and got nothing at any encounter the entire raid. Wait, I got two shards at Oryx. So basically I lost 18 shards for doing the raid. Its part of the grind. If we got a drop every single time there would be nothing to grind for after a few weeks. Its fine how it is. Makes getting a good drop feel even better.

If 20 minutes is a lot to you, I feel bad I'm pretty sure if you got everything you needed in consistent drops, you would post about how there's nothing left to do.

How about no normal raid stuff either?

OP must not have played any year one VOG. I literally got shards and energies all raid several times. #forever29

We feel your pain bro!

Signed you loose many guardians this way just saying...bungivision should have got that by now

Just another dumb move brought to you by Bungie. They are waiting to implement 30 more dumb moves as soon as we calm down about all the dumb moves they've made so far. Give us a drop at every encounter you stubborn idiots. Moldering shards is not a drop, its dog urine. Moldering dog urine. BTW, Signed. Luke needs to wake the frack up. Stay off the pipe Luke. Damn.

I agree and i got pretty decent roll on loot this week, except primaries 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.

Edited by MuffsFatMan: 10/28/2015 11:34:18 PMNext you always want them to be upgrades? I also laugh ever time we kill a boss someone is mad over a 305 item and can't understand why it's 305 in hard. It's freaking free 3 marks or a chance to infuse something fun... 😊😂 stop crying so much

I'd be ok with getting at least motes AND strange coins if I don't walk away with a weapon, armor, and/or ghost In the past raids, we wouldn't get a weapon or armor after every checkpoint BUT we'd get shards and/or energies. We don't use shards or energies anymore so strange coins AND motes would be fine

Edited by Queen Skelly: 10/28/2015 11:50:10 PMIt sucks, believe me I know, however it is RNG and there is a chance that you won't receive anything but the lovely imaginary loot. I would love to be able to receive something other than that for the time I spend. Just like with the nightfalls, it's a toss up.

I've only gotten drops from oryx. I get shards and crap from all the other bosses. It sucks

Edited by total_putts: 10/28/2015 11:31:51 PMOr add moldering shards to hard, so those drops where you currently roll nothing you at least get shards. Then allow players to use 40 shards to increase the light level of any one item by 1. You keep your grind and at least we get something for our time.
