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
Edit: 500+ replies
Edit 750+ replies. When we get to 1000, I'll edit this to #Feedback so this has a more likely chance of getting noticed.
Edit: 1000+ replies. Will edit this into #Feedback soon
Edit 1500+ replies. Bungie, we're waiting on you
Edit 1750+ replies. Two updates later and no mention of this in any update... Really Bungie?

Bungie wants you to grind..... It creates the gambling behavior that actually distracts you from playing other games. I used to play destiny all of the time, but I recently unpinned it from my Xbox one and decided to play it casually. This game isnt worth stressing over..... It's a damn game. Im done grinding through raids to get moldering shards that will drop ruins after killing oryx..... Garbage
-
This^ - also, can I not get loot which is under 305 please...
-
I ran hard mode on two characters without doing normal mode first. Every drop through hard mode on both characters was either just shards, or a normal mode item, no hard mode level drops. Last week me and several people I ran with got nothing at all from several of the drops.
-
I would also argue all drops should be at least 315 if not max. I thought they were going to make the game less grindy. Feels more grindy than ever.

Edited by SNAKEYEs: 10/28/2015 6:45:33 PMBump. So annoying. Same thing happened to me. I only did hard this week. All I got was shards through first two drops. Golg gave me 303 gauntlets. Sisters gave me 310 cloak. So far only received 1 hard drop this weak and it was only 310
-
I have had luck getting drops but I literally have never had a special weapon drop for me at all in normal or hard mode. Literally I get is the raid piece of shit rocket launcher from war priest never a sniper or shotgun. Now that's bullshit
-
That's how it's worked in all the raids so far. Just, instead of ascendant material you get shards. Never gonna change
-
Shards from totem, shards from war priest, shards and 312 cloak from golgoroth, shards from sisters, shards, 310 hawk moon and 311 cloak from oryx. That was supposed to be "double drops" (Normal and hard) I foresee a LOT of "Forever 317, 318, 319" toons in the coming months.
-
Nothing from warpriest or golgoroth or any chests up to daughters atm. On hard mode btw. Last week was just a sniper.
-
Throughout a whole run, I had 1 drop at Oryx...

Edited by XxFILOVIRIDAExX: 10/28/2015 6:44:33 PMWhile it would be nice to get more drops it did take me over 25 runs to get the VoG gear. From somebody who has spent almost 10 days in the raids.
-
Ya moldering shards and antiquated runes dont cut it. Especially when on hm you are supposed to get nm loot drops also. Im also continuing to get drops at lower light lvl than my light lvl. I thought bungie changed that for hm.
-
I understand in normal mode (not really), but hard mode tho, even if it's shit light lvl it should at least drop something.
-
Signed, tired of not getting anything
-
-
Haha wish the vog days where back. Grind for months to be one item short. I understand your frustration but personally like it better this way. The rewards are sweeter when u get them
-
No rewards suck, from any checkpoint. It was bad enough the Deathsinger checkpoint on Crota's End didn't give out twice, but this new reward system is the worst yet. At least in VoG you got something, even if it was just shards (which were so important back then).
-
This shouldn't be a petition this is how we need it
-
More like petition to remove 2 shards from the loot table.
-
Edited by kidEthereal: 10/28/2015 6:12:39 PMNo. After a month what the hell would we be doing? Also, the past raids never had guaranteed drops. So..why now? Edit: they just need to adjust the drop rates. I agree that the drop rate is horrendous, but having guaranteed drops would be stupid.
-
Bungie doesn't care about our opinions. You're wasting your time. I wish they did care about our opinions though. :(
-
Edited by Ricky: 10/28/2015 6:31:41 PMGuaranteed drops on warpriest golgoroth and oryx And: The item you get is equal or higher light than your current light level
-
i dont mind the rng. even though i was 310 and did the most damage because i had the spindle and everyone else was 310+ rng blessed them to shit. i enjoy actually playing the raid. if i got everything from the raid in 1 shot i will not touch the raid and would just wait around complaining about the lack of content this dlc has.
