I would like to first point out, there will be no cursing in this post, im actively reading Bungie's twitter post's and some of the abuse people give is just nu-necorssesry, they are just going to ignore it.
Okay, i would like to start off by addressing the problems with Xur, i understand people have shouted quite a bit about this, but i wanted to add my own little thing here. I understand having him randomly generating his backpack. thats a cool idea and all, but when he starts selling the same thing week in week out, theres a problem, as far as i can tell he has never sold the hard light or the universal remote, two weapons i still have yet to aquire. but im not bitter about it as i know he is random, but his inventory seems to cycle though the same stock for a few week's meaning myself and others have nothing to buy from him. this means that running 50 ROC strikes is becoming a more efficient way to get exotics than the exotic vendor, i think what need's to be changed about xur is that his inventory is no longer random, and is chosen at the end of the week via poll on the bungie twitter. in a way they ask what people would like to see, and the majority of things said gets chosen. or a poll with a selection of two amour pieces for each class, giving us a choice of either or, and two weapons. this means that the majority of players will get that exotic they wanted.
Now for the next subject, i would like to address the nightfall strikes. for the past few week's i have been able to run the strike, i think i started in late November, since then my friend who i run it with, has gotten nothing, he has acquired the same legendary gun each time (that was just bad luck) but, he has had a run of getting strange coins and ascendant energy/shards. most would put this down to bad luck, but that was running it on three characters each week. energy and shards, should not be a reword on nightfall. it is the single most disappointing and hurtful thing to get from a nightfall, the hardest mission bar the raid. strange coins you get from doing the weekly heroic strike. that's what it is there for. not the nightfall. energy and shards you get by doing events they shouldn't be an award for nightfall. legendary weapons and exotic weapons and armour should be the only thing you get from the nightfall. going though "hell" in a sence to end up with something im not going to need for at least 4 months. is a massive stab in the chest. so, how do we fix this, as i started legendary weapons and Armour, exotic weapons and Armour. i would prefer there not to be the legendary Armour, but that would make it almost to easy to get exotics, that's why right now there are coins and shards, but that dosent seem to work for myself and most.
now for something that im pretty sure most are wondering, i dont not think it should take this long to bring out the next expansion, ok bungie im going to take a little step back here. i was ok with sony getting exclusive gear and strikes. im fine with that as i know it will come to the xbox one and 360 later on this year (please let me be right about this) and i understood why it took from September to December for the first pack, the dark below was the most disappointing DLC for me ever since Fable3 turned up with one story DLC that took an hour to complete. now, the house of wolves will be $20 for me £15. the estimated date is between April,may or june, that is exceedingly long for what right now is showing to be the same amount of content. i understand it takes time to build these thing's but it should not that that long, youv given us hints as that everything is subject to change. but i don't think it's going to. Bungie, you need to tell your players and fans what you have in store for them, by not telling us, you are turning alot of us away, the reason your game was cracked into to get a sneak peek of whats to come, is so we can see if it's worth continuing to play or not. and right now im beginning to seeing less players in the tower everyday. hardly anyone in the wild. and it upset's me to see this, even some of the big you tube names who play your game day in day out they have addressed the same problem's. i know you guys listen, so please listen more.
Thank you for reading, this was not a rant this was my two pence (cus im British in it) also apologies for any misspelled word's. i am dyslexic so i tend to mess up words alot.

What if the tried to dramatically decrease the chance for material, make them more rare than exotics in nightfall?
