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

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

I guess you haven't played VoG or CE.

The rewards are fine, stop complaining that you had worse luck than others .

I got some great drops from raid this week
-

It would honestly be livable if when I finally DID get something it didn't have some shit like surrounded or hot swap and be 315 when my default special weapon is 316. The best raid weapon I've gotten is a split between my 303 Qullim's Terminus with persistence and my 312 Harrowed Qullim's Terminus with persistence. Great weapons, underwhelming attack stats. TL;DR: signed. When I do get weapons, they aren't great. At least give me more chances at them.

Got moldering shards from warpriest golgorath and sisters..

Bump Bump Bump

Consider it signed.

I went up to Oryx (we quit after sisters) yesterday on hard and came out with a whopping 6 moldering shards and a normal class item (300 defence!).
-
I'd rather get nothing than get a normal armor from Golgoroth on hard .-.

I got antiquated runes my whole run on normal. Then did the nightfall and got a blue engram. Just my normal luck, wait I think the loot system is broken *hint* bungie

Edited by Nodnarb: 10/28/2015 7:17:54 PMFeels like we made one step forward and three steps back. Vog was a rough grind, many of us experienced the bs that was forever 29. With crotas end it was better, but far from perfect. The drops were abundant and most people were 32 within the first month. This led to a very short life cycle for crota. That brings us to our present state. KF loot system is terrible. We now have to fight rng on two fronts, "will what I want drop?", and the biggest pile of shit, "will it be high enough light to be useful?" Hard mode having shards on the loot table is yet another atrocity. Why, esp if they aren't consumed in hard, do they even drop? Tl;dr: signed, KF loot system sucks.
-
Been like this for literally every raid. You just don't get materials now as there isn't any. So instead of getting nothing except shards/energy you get nothing. Effectively no change.

Edited by itzmeeeeee: 10/28/2015 8:22:28 PMNope, only ran HM 3 times and Ive gotten a drop from every boss lol

Nothing in life is guaranteed. You think the drop rates in KF are bad? Try VOG.
-
signed
-
It should either be guaranteed drops with rng light lvl drops, or rng drops with a guarantee it'll be better than what you have. Not both.
-
Got a bunch of shards and 2 marks and one ghost. None of which was above 305. Your basically forced to run 3 characters just to improve in one. Why not let those of us that only want 1 character run it 3 times.

Bumped

Just did Hard Mode and all I got was 2 shards from Sisters. So awesome.

Signed. Makes me NOT want to do hard mode because of the RNG
