I am having the exact same issue. I have a ghost that lets me see alkane on titan when it's nearby and I use the scout reports etc. I've also been using the fire team medallions with my both of my brother in laws and we all get the same thing. No alkane (or 1 in 10 that is collected) Heroic public events give one blue gear and one token (when using the medallion) Strikes give the same amount of loot as usual (with strike medallion) So it feels like all my grinding I'm doing is worthless. The medallions I'm buying from eververse are useless and wasted. What is the point in having items like scout reports or medallions for extra loot, if you're not allowed to get anything from them. I've tried switching profile and character to see if that makes a difference (like how you get achievements to unlock) but nothing is helping. My main problem is, I can't actually progress any further than my 285 light level until the weekly reset appears. So now I feel like I don't wanna play until every Tuesday. I put a lot of time into destiny one.. played it all day everyday. I'm a week in to destiny 2 and I feel defeated already 😕
