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 need this all I got was 310 gauntlets from the whole damn thing (except for oryx)

Edited by archarmonic: 10/28/2015 9:00:50 PMI do agree the hard raid is light on rewards. In earlier raids, you at least got [i]something[/i] at each checkpoint.
-
They should at least get normal mode loot...
-
-
Well it has always been this way bit i sort of agree
-
Did the whole hard raid and only got a ghost! 2 in fact!!! One from totems and Oryx. I didn't even do the normal raid. All I got were a bunch of moldering shards and 2 ghosts. And we did Hard Oryx first run no wiping. :(
-
Well, back in VoG and the Crota's End, rewards weren't guaranteed then either. Why would it be different in this raid?
-
Obviously this coming from a guy named Spooky_ Cry_
-
Kids expect to get something For Just participating.... Life has a Long hard Lesson To teach you when You Grow Up...
-
Maybe not guaranteed drops on every boss, but why, for the love of everything holy, does it drop items 2-4 light levels below what you are? How the hell are you supposed to level up?
-
Signed
-
Signed. ..why MOLDERING shards, EVER???
-
Give me everything i need in one run and making all other runs after ....pointless
-
Glyphs - two shards War priest - two shards Golgoroth - two shards Daughters - two shards Then didn't have enough time for oryx... Last week only got 315 chest piece and 312 machine gun, and I thought that was unlucky, then the game decided to show me what unlucky really is.

If you've been here since the beginning, then you're likely used to this VERY ANNOYING part of Destiny lol

Yeah I got a 307 ghost from the normal raid and a 300 ghost from hard. Then I got a 310 raid sniper rifle from regular and a 302 from the hard raid. Did hard raid last night and nothing from first 2 chests and a fusion rifle from the Warpriest that is a 302. Starting to get a little put off by Hard mode too.

This is worse than duplicates
-
Every raid has this... this isn't new... Keep it as is.

Bungie knows what they're doing. They want you to keep playing.

Edited by RennWorks: 10/28/2015 8:34:02 PMsigned raid doesn't feel as worth it anymore if i don't get good shit let alone getting shit in general

Petition to implement one of two choices for HM 1.) Keep the random drop rate but anything that does drop is 315 - 320 2.) Every phase has a drop but everything can be 310 - 320. at least that would give us a way to start farming gear to infuse into armor we like
