DONE with this "treasure key" BS!

Like many of you, I spent countless hours this weekend grinding the "wolves" events in search of treasure keys. It was fun for about the first hour or two... but after that it was irritating beyond belief. I found 2 keys and 2 legendary engrams.... and a shit ton of blue engrams. I can't believe they actually thought this would be a good idea or fun for us players. HoW isn't even out yet and I'm already feeling completely let down. The mindless idiocy of running back and forth between 2 spots on a map... fighting the same fight over and over and opening chest after disappointing chest.... is this a sign of what the rest of the DLC is going to be like? I'm sure many of you will disagree with me and that's likely because these forums are filled with a lot of people who will be fans of the game no matter how much it goes to shit. Anyway... If I'm doing a patrol bounty and stumble across a wolf event, I'll stop and do it... but beyond that... I'm DONE with that tedious grind!

    Like most people who play this game, you probably think that time should equal reward. It doesn't, and I'm glad. I see threads all the time stating "800 hours, no GHorn!!" or "3 days farming, only 2 keys!" Well, if your time is spent inefficiently, you deserve to not have all of the things. I'm not saying this is you, you may be a crazy efficient farmer, but I have 14 keys and 13 legendary engrams. Not because I no-lifed the hell out of my weekend, but because when I farm, I'll do it for a couple hours at a time, and in that time I get minimum 3 chests per 90s window. I've had as high as 6 (with the chest that spawns next to the little doorway there in Skywatch) Same is true of exotic drops in this game. So many people complain, as I said, about RNG not being fair. I look at a lot of peoples' play time and see a low amount of raid completions by comparison. So if you're spending all your time doing non-exotic content, that's your problem. It's not the RNG system that's failing you. I have a fair bit of play time, which is comparable to most of you, but most of that time is spent in the crucible or doing exotic content. Look at how many Crota / Atheon completions I have. And that doesn't even include the times I've done just one or two bosses without running the whole raid (like Templar for a Fatebringer). I make a point to play the RNG system, and as a result I have been rewarded. I'm efficient. Anyone else who is efficient will never complain either, because we all get pretty much everything we want. I say "pretty much" because I still don't have a Hawkmoon. But I don't really care. I just keep playing knowing that there's something else out there for me to chase. It keeps me wanting to be efficient every week with the time I do have to play.
