Bungie, you have no respect for your customers and their time
General problem: When you farm something
- you have a low chance of a drop
- if you get a drop, you may not get the item you are farming for
- if you get the item, it most likely doesn't have the perks or stats you are looking for
I have just been farming a lost sector, once again, for hours, on master difficulty, and
- most of the time I got nothing
- when I got something, it was an enhancement core most of the time
- when I got an exotic, it always was one I had already on my account and which always came with an undesirable stat mix
These factors are multiplicative and make it pointless to farm particularly lost sectors for exotic armor.
I don't know what is driving you here, Bungie. Is it a lack of intelligence? Is it stubborness? Are you still so determined to push what you believe this game should be and would make it awesome into the faces of your customers? What's your benefit of either having your customers sink endless hours into your game because of this utter rubbish of a game and activity design, or having them not do it at all or give up on it and vent their frustration publicly?
I am watching how you are handling this game for years, and nothing you did could convince me that you are not a bunch of self centered dreamers living in their own world, detached from reality, full of themselves, believing Destiny is the greatest game ever conceived and implemented, vastly ignorant of and desinterested in what your customers express how they want this game to be.
Yes, you still make money off this game. I tend to believe you would make more money if you would cater to your customers more instead of clinging your own misguided game design concepts no matter what because you are so convinced they are great that nothing can make you change your mind.
Why the heck don't you let your customers chose the reward they want to get from such an activity, and also take any stat selectors into account they may have put on their ghost when determing the stats?
No? Too much effort? Too hard to figure? Would make players happy instead of frustrated?

Edited by michael: 11/6/2022 1:34:03 PMThe lost sectors RNG is terrible and is exactly why I dont farm them. I could have better builds if I really went for more optimized armour pieces but the returns are so marginal for a grind that is so bad. Like you say you first have to get an exotic drop which is already like one in every six to eight runs and on the runs where you dont get one you get nothing so 80% or so of your time is completely wasted with nothing to show for it. Then you have to hope you get the exotic you want which is another, what, 1 in 5? 1 in 8? Then you have to hope you get the stats you want which is an unquantifiably low chance. But its even worse because this is only theoretical probability. In reality its not "after 8 drops you are guaranteed to get the exotic you want", but rather you could spend hours getting repeat drops of the ones you dont want before you get what you are looking for even one single time. I grind this game but lost sectors is something that will never be worth my time. If they added a grandmaster lost sector that capped you at GM light and was extremely hard to do and even if you could do it it would take 10 minutes but it was guaranteed to drop exotics, shards, and core/prism bundles on every single completion I would be all over that. But that doesnt exist.
