Screw your "timeline" that is irrelevant. Almost all of my friends have 32 and maxed raid weapons already. I myself have 2 32 characters and 3 maxed guns. The logic you're using is so stupid. Who cares how fast someone reaches 32 before hard mode... the deathsinger having no loot drops makes no sense and makes crota end feel way smaller and way more watered down than VoG. Why the hell would having a boss fight that doesn't drop ANYTHING be a good idea? I don't even have to argue this with you, the fact that the majority of people skip this part of the raid alone proves my point. I'm sure bungie wanted us to skip an entire boss fight right? Deathsinger should drop 2 shards/energies. Over saturation caused by 2 extra shards dropping is NOT what you should be worried about in regards to the amount of 32s out there, it's the cheesing and exploits. There are 29s and lower out there cheesing the first two drops in the raid.
