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]

Done the Raid in total 8/9 times? 10 drops, 6 lower than my light level.. 3 duplicates. Also Exotic engrams today have given me SEVEN at 290 in a row.. light level 309. cheers bungie. pack of useless -blam!-s.
-
My team and I went through the raid (hard mode), every single one of us got only moldering shards and antiquated runes. They didn't drop loot for anyone, we can't even get passed Oryx because most of our team is not 311+ so we don't do enough damage. Fix the loot drops, two weeks of nothing is bullshit.
-
Signed 100% it's an insult and disgusting to treat your player base this way. No rewards possibility for beating sections of hard mode oryx is like a business shortchanging you intentionally to your face and thinking there's nothing unethical about their dealings
-
Without adequate light increases from expected loot drops on hard mode to enable guardians to take on hard oryx encounter people will quit they are relying on keeping their characters increasing to take on the final challenge. With no guarantee like previous raids before I do forsee people leaving fed up and angry. I am one of them

Bump so hard

signed! and if i may add: The moldering shard system is retarded! What was wrog with the raid lootsystems fron VOG and CE?

Agreed. Hard raid up to Oryx and only improvement to my current gear was a 312 MG. I got 310 harrowed CP. What is the point of hard mode gear dropping at 310?
-
Hells yeah should be gauranteed drops each section even. Especially when it drops at all sorts of levels and stats etc

Signed

BUMP! Twice now I've gone through the hard raid and got literally nothing. This should not be a thing. It's one thing to get worse gear than you already have, but it's bullshit to get absolutely nothing.
-
Im in agreement but ive never done it
-
I don't even own TTK (yet) but this seems like a fair straightforward request. SIGNED.
-
I've never done the raid but no rewards would be very sad. Sounds like a waste of how long? I've heard people say between 3-5 hours, and it would be a shame to get nothing.

I just killed the war priest and golgoroth. I got nothing this needs to be fixed. It needs to be a mix of crota and VOG. Guaranteed drops with varying or everything drops at 320 You pick Bungie. Pick.
-
They need to fix this. Players are getting so pissed off they're quitting over it. I don't mean rage quitting then trying again the next day. I mean they've moved on to doing something else other than Destiny. What's made it worse is that in an earlier post Deej said that they respect the player's time. This was just before HOW launched. Now we have a worse RNG system that eats up even more of our time and leaves many players with a sense of futility. What happened to that respect?

Day one player signed..I absolutely just love spending countless amounts of time on something that is already repetitive since the start of the game to get nothing..ran through kings fall normal and got nothing except at Oryx I got a 304 scout rifle and 2 shards in exchange for 20 shards? -blam!-ing Bullshit. So far I have sank $140 into a game of reskins and grinding. I don't mind the grinding but paying for a reskin of everything is ridiculous. I love the game but I'm getting nowhere..I ran it again this week only to get a 308 normal lmg while playing hard.like wtf I should be guaranteed some thing from hard like come on.not to mention it was 1 attack above the one I had.beat golgoroth and got an exact same chest piece as the one am I was wearing..[u]BUNGIE WTF![/u]
-
Same problem. Haven't yet managed to get to Oryx due to people in my fire team dawdling or taking too long to cross the hive ship chasm, but have killed war priest four times and gotten nothing but shards three of those times while I watched my teammates all receive a weapon or armor. Killed golgoroth once and got gauntlets. Last I got nothing but shards in the first three chests. What's the point of playing the raid if there's a good chance your effort goes unrewarded?
