I've done probably 20 bounties so far without a rare drop, about 100 forges since two days and haven't retrieved it yet. I'm done at this point and wouldn't wonder if many others are as well. Locking content I paid for behind a ridiculous RNG system isn't far from fraud.
So many ways would've been acceptable and not frustrating but Bungie for some reason decided against it.
- Why isn't the Shattered Throne (a one every THREE weeks event) the first step?
- Why isn't the drop rate for that item significant higher or even proportional increasing after each time it doesn't drop?

Remove Shattered Throne completely from Quests. It's a secret activity to get another Exotic called Wish Ender. It has no place in another Exotic Quest not even relating to the weapon. It's just filler. It's like if Last Word had us going back to Io to wait for the Public Event on Friday-Sunday to do the Whisper mission again to collect an Ascendant material after completing it. Makes no sense right? On the other hand the Rare bounty is apart of Black Armory, so I don't have any arguments there because it belongs in the quest.
