Valid point. What gets irritating (my experience yesterday) is when you haven't done normal so you're supposed to have the possibility of both normal AND hard drops. Also, Bungie claims to have algorithms in place to 'weight' drops you don't have yet. I started a fresh hm at 311. I'm at Oryx now. Still 311. Totems-shards Warpriest-shards Golgoroth-shards, 300 boots, 317 chest (Had 304 boots and a 316 chest) Sisters-shards, 311 shotgun (Had 315 shotgun) . Not by any means expecting top tier things all the time, but getting rewards like this for running hardmode [i]is[/i] pretty rough
