So my friends and I were spitballing some ideas that would revitalize some of our play time. We came to the conclusion, or one of many maybe, that we would like something akin to the medallion that drops upon a loss in iron banner to drop during pve encounters, like a medal of completion. possibly a color coded tier system of medallions based on difficulty of encounters you participate in. but for instance every time you complete an activity or for x number of hours you play you are given medallions. Then say Xur, or the Speaker, or someone sells all of the exotic engrams for each slot, or exotic random engram. You can then trade x coins for engram, making it so that those of us who have been playing for a really long time and have been desiring certain weapons can roll the dice of getting something we want with a little bit more certainty that efforts we put in can have a greater chance of getting what we want.
My friend and I have been wanting Hawkmoon for months, technically since the day they announced it as a exclusive for PSN players. we've been playing since the alpha, never once saw it drop for either of us. If I received 1 coin of certain quality every nightfall, or heroic weekly, for each daily, for any event, possibly a simple tier system of 26 level events reward bronze, 5 or 10 bronzes equal a silver, and 5 or 10 silvers equal a gold, silvers rewarded upon completion of a 28, gold upon level 30 completions, level 32 completions reward 2 gold medallions. In essence this will help alleviate many of the stresses and frustrations that most players experience while trying to get weapons or armor that they really really really want.

Edited by T3mpest: 2/4/2015 7:59:37 PMHmm.. Idk about every activity. How about it just happens in a harder one.. Oh maybe they could make a specific event that allows you to get medallions, but it's a hard one. Oh and we don't want people farming the crap out of it or soon everyone will have everything.. Oh and let's make it coins instead of medallions.. :P In case you didn't catch it, your idea is basically similar to what they already have in place to make sure everyone can get access to exotic weaponry and armor, xur and strange coins. Main difference is want coins for literally doing everything and anything because of 1 gun you can't get.. Most hardcore destiny players between xur every week since launch selling the vast majority of exotics and RNG have a VERY large majority of the exotic weapons. I know it sucks not being able to get that one elusive gun you want, but guns in destiny on the whole are very easy to come by. Most RPG games like this dont' allow every players to basically have almost every best gun in the game. The PSN exclusives unfortunately haven't been sold by Xur, making them pure RNG. Hell out of the xbox guns all I'm missing is hardlight and thunderlord, also 2 guns xur hasn't sold. While I'd love a thunderlord especially, I recognize that since I have access to literally every other exotic, they don't need to be any easier to get lol. If the only reason you play is to get hawkmoon, your playtime won't be revitalized for long, once hawkmoon finally drops.
