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.

I think they do it to encourage you to try out the other classes. A lot of people are guilty (including myself) to only playing as one class right now. It's best to use all three so having an exotic already waiting for use on that character would actually be pretty nice.
