Hey Bungie,
First off, let me just say a massive thank you for bringing us all Destiny. I absolutely love this game and will be spending as much spare time as I can for the foreseeable future playing it over and over.
My one and only issue that I have with this amazing game is the lack of legendary Engram drops whilst playing campaign missions and even strike or daily heroic missions. I've been stuck on Level 24 for as long as I can remember and am getting increasingly frustrated with the lack of ability to find any better gear to upgrade with.
I love playing the strike missions with other people online, but I am definately not a fan of competitive multiplayer games. I never have been. I unfortunately have struggled to put my time into playing much of the crucible as it's just not as enjoyable as a campaign or strike mission for me.
This has severely limited my ability to either earn legendary Engram drops or earn enough crucible marks or faction marks to be able to buy legendary gear. The other day I finally managed to upgrade the Cryptarch and earn a legendary weapon and soon after I found another on a strike. I was absolutely thrilled with that, however, I am desperately searching for legendary armor!
Finally! Yesterday I earned a legendary Engram drop during a strike! I was ecstatic!! Finally I may be able to move on from being a level 24.
I shimmy my way over to the Cryptarch and say "hey buddy decode my armor for me so I can be on my way". "Sure" he says and hands me back a nice shiny legendary helm for a.......Warlock....I'm a bloody Titan FFS!!!
To add insult to injury I got another drop this morning and thinking id finally earned a way out of level 24 I took it to the Cryptarch to decode. "Here you go buddy", he says and hands me back a nice shiny legendary chest piece. Who was it for??? You guessed it..a fricken Warlock again!!!
Needless to say I'm quite peeved with this Cryptarch atm. This will obviously not stop me from playing and trying to finally get the right type of gear to level up because I genuinely love this game. However, if it is at all possible to find a way to reward those that do not play a lot of crucible matches it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for listening to my little rant.
Cheers,
Seb (Level 24 Titan)

I had the exact same problem. Only way to do it is with faction gear bro. Grind rep and VG marks and buy some purps.
