I will try to keep this short. I got on last night to play with some buddies of mine we did the Nightfall, Patrol Quest, and Archon's Forge. (TBH Nightfall seemed way too easy.) So we do the Nightfall and I get a Legendary Drop and Unlock the Chest. What do I get, a 370 Cloak. That's fine, seems like a bit of a waste but what ever free Marks. And I managed to Rank up Vanguard. So I go and get my Package which I need Armor so i pick one up and what do i get? 371 Cloak. Alright, my D.O Rank is on the edge so i'll go spend a few weapon parts on it, still need the Armor. What do I get? 2 Cloaks 372 and 370. Now I am agitated but i got quest to do so we go to Patrol and Archon's Forge. What drops do I get 2 365 Leg Helmets (they do look sorta cool) and wait.... 370 Cloak. Now after some grinding and bounties my Vanguard is ranked again. Now you think I would learn my lesson, but I really just want to bump my Armor to all 370+. Guess. 371 Cloak.
Now all that said I got all my drops when I was at 370, so the light level is great and if any of those cloaks were Helmets or Boots or Gauntlets that would have been helpful.
Solution: Move all Class Items for Rep Packages to the Possible Pool. If i remember correctly there are 6 different class Items (same on both Chroma and Regular) for each class and each Rep. The chances of a Class Item are already high since there are 5 more options than every other Armor Piece. To me that seems fair, I don't think it would really make it that much easier to rank up but it would lessen the Frustration of spending all the time to rank up only to be showered by RNG with useless Cosmetic Gear.
All in all I love this update, the new Exotics are great, the new and "new" weapons and armor look and feel great and it almost feels like when I first started (except I know what I am doing now.)
Could this be considered for the next update or hotfix? I can't be the only one experiencing this right? Unless I am doing something wrong?

1 guaranteed class item and 2 replacement armor for your 2 lowest armor prices (example: if all your gear is 276 but your boots are 275 you'll get boots at a higher light, class item and some random other legendary armor slightly higher)
