SO!!! I'm starting to realize how grindy and unnecessary this game is becoming. You closed the loot cave (loot cave haters/trolls incoming), but you make the already extremely RANDOM Exotics a RANDOM Class!!!!! I've been grinding since LAUNCH and I finally get a Legendary Engram..
I run striaght to the Cryptarch hoping it's not an Uncommon Item and at least a decent Rare... but at the possible expense of a heart attack.. and the blowing out of so much excitement... it's an Exotic Gauntlet... I immediately forget my other engrams and go straight into my menu to look at and equip and it's -blam!-ing for another class.. -- If a game is going to be GRINDY!!!!!!!!!!!! AT least let me grind for shit that I CAN USE!!!!
I'm tired of this Halo/Borderlands crap.. This Lottery.. I've spent too much money on this game to keep getting pissed and shelving it hoping the next patch is in my favor or there is some real story. Or the amount of labor required for decent armor goes down. I want to feel like I don't have to be a dedicated gamer in order to get the cool stuff!! I don't have 40 Hours a week to grind for Vanguard Marks (which are limited to 100 per week). I don't feel like 2 weeks of continuous play is worth 1 helmet and 1 gauntlet. Its not worth the amount of effort in Crucible when you're not good at pvp. It's not worth the effort when in a fire team and 2 players leave the game in the middle of a boss battle that you will NOT be able to complete alone. It's not worth 200 guardian kills in pvp. it's not worth 200 precision shots without dying. -- All for Exotic Engrams that will ultimately be for another class.
If anything, make a sandbox mode

Edited by Maximilian: 9/29/2014 6:20:45 AMI am totally with you on each and every point you mentioned. If like the other guy here need to spend unreasonable amount and effort to feel " valuable" for an item, i would suggest him use a common gun to fight weekly strike battle. If he did that i would then value his disagreement. Yes he had the freedom to take the challenge, while we the sane one can do nothing having many wrong class items .
