Yeah I didn't think it was possible for a game to have worse RNG loot than Diablo 3.
I mean I love Destiny, but this game has some glaring issues that need fixing - it's like they didn't listen to the beta feedback at all. There were a bunch of threads asking for more/better loot.
This pic still captures the problem perfectly;

Like they can't decide between making it an ARPG or an MMO. ARGPs typically shower you in loot because it's what makes the game fun, you kill a bunch of stuff, get some shinnies and are encouraged to fight more enemies for yet more shinnies. MMOs typically withold that loot behind various gates. The problem is Destiny seems to be stuck in the middle, with the benefits of neither; You don't find loot often enough (and of good enough quality) to make farming fun, and the boss fights are all dreadfully boring and monotonous with nothing making them really interesting - it's just fight the hordes of guys until it finally falls over dead (which is itself another issue, several fights just spam you with enemies to the point where you forget all about the boss) There's no major mechanics or any deep gameplay as would be typically found in an MMO boss encounter/dungeon.
So yeah, Bungie has their work cut out for them. I'm not giving up on the game, I think the people who are crying that the sky is falling are being overly dramatic and hyperbolic but the game does have major issues that need addressing ASAP if they want people to stick around. This game is quickly becoming a huge joke all over the internet. Yes it sold a lot of copies but every other post I see is negative feedback.
That shouldn't be happening with such a major release.
EDIT: The cryptarch kicking us in the nads 90% of the time doesn't help things either.

Like the edit. Cryptarch kicking me in the balls sucks. At least buy me dinner before you BLAM me. Guess I'm not used to the "probably turn into loot" idea. I wait and play and when I see a certain color drop my brain instantly thinks I finally got it. It's disappointing to then have it turn into something else. Not the end of the world, but still disappointing. Wonder if "the division" will do that. Or will it give you EXACTLY the weapon it says it will when an enemy drops something.

^^ yeah it's reminding me a little too much of Diablo 3 lately and why I stopped playing that game - I got sick of identifying legendary after legendary and never getting the specific item I need. The funny thing is D3 is the exact opposite of Destiny; you get utterly spammed by "good" drops but the problem is you need very specific items from an insanely large loot pool for builds to be viable, and then on top of that the stats are all randomized so after potentially weeks of hunting an item you might finally get it but it'll have horrible stat rolls. At least so far the loot has been largely decent in Destiny for me, just very scarce (be nice if I could get my hands on a very high impact SR)

That picture made my day haha. But yeah, Destiny is a great game, it has potential, I love it, but these little flaws just kills my motivation to keep playing it. I stopped caring for engrams thanks to the cryptard. Man, he took my exotic engram and turned it into a highlander type 3 helmet. That was the deal breaker right there.
