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

I got [b]0[/b] hard mode gear the entire raid. Even from Oryx I got nothing, but shards on hardmode

I was really enjoying destiny again, loved the changes that came with TTK, loved the new raid when normal first dropped. Then hard mode came. Now i just can't be bothered. Not because its too hard, me and my regular group have it on farm like many others i suspect. However, after getting to 310 and then finding out it was pointless, now i just don't see or feel the need to get to 320. Its back to that stupid bungie grind system to prolong content, combined with weapon parts nerf. FFS, Just let people gear up and then play less, like every other game in existence rather than expect them have to run the same stupid hard raid content over and over just to get a pair of 312 boots instead of 311, or to get 4 x 300 items drop from the hard mode for Pete's sake, like i did last night. Its ridiculous. Thought you learnt about this crap with The Dark below? Clearly not. I also don't want to have to farm 20 strikes for parts everytime i get a new weapon or two that i want to level and infuse, especially with 5-6 weapons still sat i the bank needing levelling.... Sorry Bungie, no dice. Well done you got my money AGAIN. Well, last time. I had some fun with TTK but now i think i will just pass the time on the new SWTOR expansion while i wait for Battlefront and Fallout 4. I bet Fallout 4 has more content in the first settlement i walk into, than half of Destiny does.

My first vog raid I didn't get anything but shards or energy besides found verdict til atheon. They made it this way so we have to play it every week atleast and grind out the raids for the stuff we need. If they handed it out like candy everyone would be done with ttk already til they drop the next update

Bungie are such asses for implementing this among other things.

In past raids where there was no variance in gear quality I would have said no. However, with the huge amount of variance in quality of items in the new raid, I stand with you on having each encounter drop a minimum of one piece of gear.

Signed. Getting 0 loot from killing a big baddie is against every gaming princible ever. 90% of the time its not even an upgrade When you do get loot.
-
Signed. Drops should be guaranteed at each boss.

Edited by Sas: 10/28/2015 10:13:56 PMCould remove shards as sellable item, and let you purchase a mystery raid item engram for X shards.

As bad as Crota's End was, it probably had the best loot system so far. Why can't we have that rng?
-
Didn't get anything from daughters last week either after not doing it on normal. So no rewards from normal or hard which is ridiculous. I still have to do the raid this week so we will see.

Nothing from warpriest, nothing from daughters

So change a mechanic that has been in game since launch? You got participation medals as a child, didn't you?
