Bump. I don't have any characters ready for the final Oryx encounter on HM, but I've done elements of the raid up to that point under the hope that I'll get equipment I can either immediately use or use to infuse. Too often I've gotten nothing. But while it's bad to get nothing, on an equal footing with that is to only get shards. There are people in our clan who get nothing but shards. And that is no exaggeration. They are at the point where there is zero reason to continue playing.
