So, I know Bungie just came out with a big patch, which is awesome, because bad juju sucks a bit less now (it's still a pretty bad gun...), but did they patch the public events too? I know that stuff is random, but last night instead of getting ascendant material in the post master, I got 1 mote of light for each character, and it was only the first time I did. The third, out of many (upwards of ten, probably about 12 to 15) I got one ascendant shard, but after that I hadn't received anything. If I were to combine this with my streak last night, which was no less than 12 as well, I have only received 4 pieces of ascendant material.
Is anyone else having this issue? Doing a lot of public events, but almost nothing in return for it? I mean, personally, that's at least 24 public events, with only 4 drops, and the first 3 drops were the first 3 public events I completed... I know it's all RNG, but seriously? I feel like the RNG needs to be upgraded. They've finally done so for leveling the cryptarc, but I highly doubt it's even noticeable (completely separate rant...)

public event rewards have gone to shit. Bungie have very purposely reduced the payout for ascendant shards in order to slow levelling of armor to slow players down. it is not a bug it is by design and it impacts players who solo the hardest... no more good strikes for non dlc, (capped at 24 and no good stuff) massively reduced payout from public events. new min 3 player scaling for weekly . added grind with commendations. doubled the number of engrams to rank up with the engram dude.. raised prices at the vanguard. stopped mats sales added additional currency stopped the exotic breakdown for ascendant shards. in fact bungie have done everything they can to -blam!- us over.
