I have played this game for what I would consider a ridiculous amount of time during my break and I finally got my 1st weapon based legendary engram today after all this time. I got 2 shards out of it. -.-I dont mind getting shards as I dismantled my queens helmet thinking it would give shards back if it was upgraded at least NOPE! (18 shards wasted) Now I have 2 so at least there was that but I have 3 exotic weapons before I have had any legendaries and that seems a bit ridiculous to me.
Everytime I've levelled up my cryptarch who is now about level 19 I have gone to get that little legendary pack and only got blue decoherents. I've seen some people pick up multiple legendaries in 1 evening and they have like 4 or 5 legendary weapons. I'd buy them from the crucible people so I could do the vault of glass but it seems you have to play crap ton of crucible and strikes to even go up 1 rank so rank 3 is something that probably wont happen before 2015 at this rate. Having not had any legendary weapons I'm getting a bit tired of seeing buddies going on to do the vault of glass and I can't join them because the game is massively screwing me over for legendaries atm. I expected to have at least 1 after 50+ hours game time in. Is there anything else I can do to increase my chances? Or have I actually played a really short amount of time and shouldn't be expecting a legendary after 50+ hours?

Saturday, I had two purples drop and a legendary item from a blue engram. Yesterday I got rewarded a legendary engram after a strike, I think I've been lucky lol.
