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]

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?
-
I feel you bruh. I got nuts from warpriest and golgoroth this week.

Day one guardian signing. The fact that there are 11 possible light level drops (310-320) on hard mode for each weapon or armor piece is pretty ridiculous.

There is also the fact that you have to grind through hard mode over an over just to get stuck at 312 or 313 and still have a 0% chance at 320 exotics

Going to bump and then look for desticles to be an ass to.

Sign me up, I did hard twice and didn't raise one light. I'm stuck at 308 and have gotten anything but one shotgun and one boots 315. I did normal 12 times and I'm still 308. I haven't felt progress all week. I did nightfall, trials bounties, weekly heroic, raid and have nothing to show for it. Hell I'm having to infuse legendary items by dismantling exotics to even get to 308. Wtf bungie

Edited by Corrupted Light: 10/31/2015 12:58:24 PMThe thing is people that go flawless in trials get something everytime with light levels 310-320, but Oryx hard dont gurantee you anything. Fix your raid drops Bungie.
-
100% right. Myself and a friend have gone through the whole kings fall and got shards and class item. It's total bs. And the drops I DO get DO NOT match my game style. I never never never use auto's,pulse rifles or cannons. I've gotten ONE scout but 3 pulse 2 cannons and an auto. My armor NEVER matches my game style. The whole drop system is trash. I went 3 characters no drops in 2 weeks. Got class items or shells maybe a fusion. Then when I did get drops the consistently went lower in attack and defense. Bunch of fags.

Nice to see Bungie responding to this. Hate to say it, because I really do love the game and play it almost exclusively anymore, but Destiny's days are numbered in my console.

Waste of time of my life to do a raid and get nothing. Has happened to me twice now even on oryx when I'm the primary doing damn near everything. Needs to be fixed. Along with the nightfall giving you a ghost that is unusable at this point (gotten 4 straight ghosts for my nightfall reward none higher than a 296 which I have a ghost at 303 or higher on all the characters). Also touch of malice quest after I turned in my 50,50 and glimmer, did not give the continuation of the quest when I already had my 45 fragments and beat the hard raid. Now I wasted a lot of time and materials for nothing because I can not continue with the quest to get my weapon on my titan. Umm destiny. . . To my understanding stuff like this should not happen or at least should be fixed in a timely manner. I'm also not the only one that has reported this. At least give us the continuation of the quest. Also aren't nightfall rewards supposed to be 300 and higher. Person I did the two with got a ghost like me the first time, then a fusion riffle that was both over 300. Both of my ghost were under 296. This is not supposed to be a possibility especially when I almost tripled the amount of work he did. Needs patches quick before destiny becomes another game in a stack of unplayables because I have realized I've spent too much money to get robbed during the game play and on downloadable content.

Edited by MONSTRK1L673: 10/31/2015 3:03:30 AMSo I have done the raid three times now, but every time my team kills the war priest, golgoroth, and oryx--i get nothing! NOTHING! NOT EVEN SHARDS! WHATS HAPPENING! ITS PISSING ME OFF! This is happening on 360.
-
Bump. They need to fix lower light level drops too. How can you ever reach 320 if the drops are under 310 sometimes?
