Continuing with the [b]terrible [/b]engram game design, I wanted to add into the discussion the atrocious game design behind exotic chest engrams purchased with Motes of Light.
Tonight I spent 23 of my hard earned Motes of Light on one of the exotic chest engram from Xur. Low and behold (for some reason I knew it was going to happen) I received a Titan armor piece whilst on my Warlock. My feedback is coming from my personal situation of someone who works full time and can only spend time on one character. I find this type of random system completely unfair.
For something that is SOOOO expensive and requires a lot of time to get the materials, designing it to reward an item for ANY class is lazy and a cheap way to add in more grind. My suggestion to Bungie is to make the engram give you a random class specific armor piece for any slot (head, chest, boots, gauntlets).
That's my tiny rant and 2 cents, let me know what your thoughts are on this. Have you been screwed over as well? Back to farming Motes of Light with what little time I have to end up getting laughed at by chance again.

Edited by Elhvira: 9/19/2014 2:03:50 PMOne solution could be Xur selling a really glimmer expensive consumable that would allow the player to reroll randomly the class of an item between the 3 class available now: -The high price would limit the number ofreroll consumable players can buy -Since there are 3 classes, this item would allow players to get a chance to have the item for their class, yet maintaining the balance by still getting a chance to get an another class item. -It would give players a new way to spend glimmer, which is lacking in the game right now Would seems pretty fair to me.
