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

Bump. Plus no more normal drops on hard raid. A 302 shotty for the daughters is just stupid. This is after just moldering shards for war priest and golgorath. It's not worth playing.
-
Signed hate getting nothing for hours of play. Raids almost feel like at waste of time.
-
Signed no drops on war priest or golg on multi characters what a waste of time
-
The chance at not getting anything is what keeps people coming back. They may tweak rewards, but it'll never all be guaranteed

Bumps flipping

I made a post about the rewards being awful bout 3 weeks ago and bungie replied. I am signing this but I have already quit in a sense. Halo 5 is here. When you beat oryx hard mode 4 Times and not gotten anything that increases your light level, time to hang em' up as they say. This loot system is just bad. You're betting against light level, perks multiple weapons and even the chance at getting gear. Essentially could raid 50+ times without reaching light level 320, at least not with the gear up want. Did I mentioned I've felled oryx over 20 times since launch and have no scout rifle? Halo here I come

We shouldn't need a petition for this
-
They already did that. Only for Oryx checkpoint but still. It would be too easy if you got stuff every time on every checkpoint. If they do what you're suggesting then you'll start complaining about getting gauntlets 3 weeks in a row (just for example) Just be happy and hope for loot. It makes it more fun then going in for it and getting out with it. No one would have been as surprised as they were for Gjallarhorn if they knew they were gonna get it

Edited by katsotas: 10/30/2015 4:06:35 PMAgree with you. Think there are a large number of us spending a lot of time for next to nothing. For some guardians time is more limited and precious.

Signed. It makes no sense to get nothing for an encounter. The whole point of the game is to have fun and get loot.

Yes please

Signed, I am really about to quit if they don't fix these drops.

I would like to petition that they remove the 1/11 RNG factor in determining the light level of the items that drop in hard mode. If i get a new item to drop, I should be happy about it, not disappointed because it dropped at 310, and is worse then what I already had.
