Exactly. You're either usually buying stuff, or getting engram lucky at the cryptarch. What a story I have for my gear. Them saying that just shows you how dishonest they were in marketing this thing. I liked that there was no trading, until I found out that there's nothing going on in the world where I actually get something cool as a direct reward. Bosses don't drop guns, there aren't chests next to bosses having engrams....I guess VOG has some of that but not the rest of the game. And then they give you random class armor when you do have a purple engram hit..because making you play the other classes is another 'fun' way to extend the game's playtime.
