LOL this was never a deeply rich mechanics based game, nothing much has been altered except a couple weapons that were tweaked for balance. It's a PvP frag fest (a poor one at that) with a sorry attempt at a MMORPG tacked on. The only thing you've been robbed of was a fantasy that never existed.

There was supposed to be, but over time I think they changed it. Case in point: the strikes initially didnt have guaranteed drops.

Destiny was supposed to be a lot of things it just never delivered as for guaranteed drops if you count a useless class armor and a pair of rare lvl 12 gloves as a drop then yeah, totally nerfed it.
