To @DeeJ from a Destiny lover

Hi @DeeJ Firstly, thank you guys for changing Xur's inventory. I kind of enjoy the secret (even if I shout expletives on Friday if NLB's are on sale). Now to the topic which has bothered me for quite a while. I am a Destiny lover, I have loved each minute, each second, each kill & each hour of farming on it. Although - I dont put 4-5hrs daily in the game - I dont have multiple characters - I am not a regular follower of forums such as Reddit etc where Destinites flock - I joined the Destiny family a bit late - By the time I learned about raiding, the Destinites had already moved on. So a L26 VOG had actually become a relic of the past which no one wants to touch especially with a noob now since the time taken to clear would increase. - I have made many friends, but now since everything has moved on - no one is kind of going to go through the raid grind again or carry a noob. Plus it is already hard to find one player like that - the raid requires us to find 5! - Most of the players now have their own raider groups, and those who are as open as me now dont have any 4-5hr regular pro help us So that made me wonder and hence ask you - Does that make us what is called "Bottom of the pit" players? - Is it that you guys have designed the game in a way that those who cant spend the said amount of time & cant find groups of 6 and need help to learn some aspects of the game languish at the bottom and make up the RNG numbers so that the top ones get better items (although I have no clue how this RNG works or even if this point is relevant to that debate, but hope you would get the sentiment) - And this means we will never get any elemental damage primaries as apart from Raids, there is no other way to get those. - So by the extension, we will also never be able to do Nightfalls faster since all higher level enemies would have elemental shields and both secondaries have a limitation of ammo. So will be less likelier to get any exotic. Plus even if we do...guess what...it wont be an elemental primary - This also means elemental primaries are only reserved for those who can put up a 6 man raid squad experienced enough to get it through and they can get as many as they want to dismantle - And anyone who likes to go solo or doesnt have a way to get 5 people (with 2-3 good exp porters) help out on a raid can pretty much forget seeing an elemental primary in his/her vault or inventory If your answer to any or all of the above points is "Yes" Then tell us what should we do in Destiny now since from the angle I am looking at it, unless I start playing 5-6hrs and go through a grind to find 5 willing souls ready to help out - we will always be the "Bottom of the Pit"? So should we quit? I am not asking for Xur to sell Galleys or Suros, I can grind and get it. It is not a question about exotics. Cant there be another way to get elemental primaries, even if it means its slightly harder but achievable with a fireteam of 3? Cant there be pawning allowed between players, so instead of dismantling their 7th or 8th Vex, someone can give it out? Cant the sellers sell it. Well if Iron Banner can sell L32 armor, cant there be a seller who sells Elemental primaries? Cant raids be matchmaking? Cant certain steps in raid be available in parts on matchmaking? If anyone else out there has the same sentiments, please tag yourself in the comments. @DeeJ - would be great if you could discuss your views on this

  • Grump grump, read the first two/last two responses, TLDR, we are weak genitals TJ. As for power playing, I've done it. If I could stack the ranks and xp my Titan alone would be light lvl 70, vanguard 20 and maybe fwc 10 also Crota bane 6. But I grinded down 3 or more Titans till I got the look and dance moves I wanted. Also mats, I could make it rain wit plastiplate and spinmetals! Point is, while I got some great "drops" it didn't seem to help me stay ahead of the difficulty curve. What seems to happen is that loot is somewhat relative to you and your " play style". I didn't start getting exotic gear till legendary gear was trivial to me. Maybe that's just my crumby perspective not fact. But what is a fact is that I have got more "husk's" than I know what to do with, but my buddy can't get one. He is arguably the better player( especially based upon the commenters assessment of competency) with 3 lvl 32 characters, being a "dayoner" and having completed both raids on hard multiple times. He seems to farm for the husk daily, and I just got 2 in one patrol... mission, yesterday. Maybe it's RNG maybe it's BF Skinner, idk, what I do know is that I'd gladly trade him 4 husk's and an alpha lupi for one elemental primary. Ultimately if there is a point to quitting, that's not for us TJ. We need to just wait it out, all of the cyber jocks will go back to Madden with Guns once 343 drops its hot chief all over their quivering consoles. I am confident that bungee has created a great game that once the " I play all of the games" people clear out people will start to get better loot roles. After all the RPG aspect of this game begs me to assume that: since GoW junkies are literally milking the good loot out of the game world by being "too good" instead of us being lame is actually the reason "the loot system is broken".
