Let Us Choose The Loot!
You like that armor set, to complete it all you need is the legs. You work hard to grind tokens and turn them in to get what?.... 2 helmets and 3 arms!
Iron Banner, Crucible, Vanguard…. Let us choose the reward. No more random engrams.
Take note from the Menagerie and Sundial, the rolls are still random. Simply let us treat the tokens like cash so we can buy the weapon or armor piece we want.
Some people don’t even like the activity, but will still grind for the loot. And when we dismantle loot we don’t want, give us the option to get some tokens back instead of legendary shards, so we can at least try again.
I'm not trying to remove grinding. There can be a balance between grinding and actually getting what you want for the time spent.
Thank you for listening to the community, respecting our time, and making the game less frustrating.

Edited by michael: 12/31/2019 1:57:05 AMThis is why I think Menagerie and Black Armory were so well done. Black armory. You pick a frame, do a couple short tasks, do a forge, and you get the weapon that you picked guaranteed. Only RNG is the perk roll. Menagerie. You put in the runes, do the activity and you get the reward you picked guaranteed. Only RNG is the perk roll. The worst moments in this game are grinding for a specific item and feeling like you will never get it because of the RNG. Turning in hundreds of IB tokens without any 60 stat roll armor. Doing dozens of reckoning runs without spare rations. Doing dreaming city week in and week out with no curated twilight oath or good retold tale. More activities need to be like Menagerie and Forges. Less like reckoning and iron banner. This game will be a lot more successful if people feel like their time spent grinding is worthwhile. Doing your 10th reckoning run in a row with no spare rations is what pushes people away, not encourage them to keep playing. I can sit down with 3 hours to play and tell myself if I spend it grinding a specific weapon from forges I will get at least 9 or 10 chances at a good roll on the specific weapon guaranteed, as opposed to if I sit down with 3 hours and choose to farm reckoning where I will be lucky if I get more than 3 spare rations in that time.
