The problem isn't the lack of a garaunteed drop. The problem is the loot that does drop has a chance at not being max LL. Two things on that front is that a) HM raid gear should not drop at anything under 315, as this gives players the ability to progress upward, and b) they do need a smarter loot system that doesn't calculate seperate drops by LL but instead by type. I received a 310 Harrowed shotgun on one of my runs, this is ridiculous and should never happen to a player. On my titan, in 2 runs at Golgorath, I recieved 313 gauntlets the first run, and the second 303 gauntlets from my NM roll and 314 gauntlets from my HM roll at the same time. These are perfect examples of what is so wrong with the loot system. Bungie wants us using weapons of our choice, but that's not possible of you aren't getting the infusion material you need to bring them up. I don't think Bungie took into account not just reaching maxed light, but using the items you prefer to get there when they coded the RNG for the raid.
