A valid complaint about Lost Sectors

[i][b]tl;dr: Simply put, they need better reward drop rates, if not better rewards altogether. Not Glimmer.[/i][/b] I’m not talking about in regards to the exotics, though many others would like debate over that. What I personally find as a terrible design is how you can run consecutive Lost Sectors, back to back in either Master or Legend difficulties and not get anything but a handful of 5000 glimmer and whatever blue engram drops that you happen to scrape off of the ground while doing them. That doesn’t feel like a reward when you can run literally any other activity, pop a Rainmaker consumable and just farm mob enemies, or bypass that altogether with Rahool and his exchange shop. [u]Problem:[/u] There’s no worthwhile incentive to farm, or even enjoy, L/M Lost Sectors once you get the triumphs or the exclusive exotics, but one could also argue that there wasn’t any incentive before either. [u]Solution:[/u] Add more to the reward pool that isn’t just standard gear that drops from regular enemies elsewhere in the game and remove the Glimmer reward outright. Set the baseline for Enhancement Cores to be the standard drop for Common/Uncommon and put in other mats like Prisms or Alloys alongside the chance for the exclusive exotics. Hell, maybe even throw in higher Exotic Catalyst progression for doing them. As it stands, basic activities across the game need improvements and if every additional season will put a momentary focus on activities like these, then there needs to be some sort of improvements to keep players invested enough to want to do them, even if they’re just side tasks.

    See I get where you're coming from, but then that might take away from the Nightfall activities based on its design and reward system. Not sure what else to suggest. As far as understanding goes, they also meant to help with acquiring the "newer" Exotics as well, are they not? What if there was chances of Bright Dust piles being given? Wouldn't that work as well? I say this since we can get those consumables that give us a guaranteed Upgrade Module and Enhancement Core, too. Trying to think more with what might be synergistic. Maybe tie a weekly Pinnacle to them? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
