i have not farmed for essence of dawning i have just played the game naturally doing strikes GM's and pvp until i had around 1100 essence of dawning then i used around 600 to make cookies then delivered said cookies and all i got was 6 a gift in return for delivering 60 cookies!!!!!!!! bungie that is an abysmal drop rate, 1 a gift in return every 10 cookies delivered with the amount of time a player has to invest if they play the game normally without farming the shattered throne last boss, combine that with the ridiculous drop rate of the 3 dawning emblems, its like a big f u to all the players that actually play the game normally, this event is only once a year for 3 weeks, you should be throwing a gift in return and essence of dawning at players so they can bake the cookies, show the player base if you invest the time and play normally, that you will appreciate and reciprocate the time investment that we have given you
