Behold the reason Gjallarhorn, Thunderlord and many other weapons wont drop for YOU

Most of us are blinded by the holiness of RNGsus. But I'm a sceptic and a non-believer, so I have a theory of why YOU wont get a certain weapon, but others will. Now, we all think that it's all based on RNG, but I don't really think so. I do understand the concept of randomness, but I don't believe that's a fact in this concern. I am gonna use two examples: Player 1: - has Thunderlord and Gjallarhorn - want Ice Breaker and SUROS Player 2: - has SUROS and Ice Breaker - want Thunderlord and Gjallarhorn Player 1 and 2 keeps on grinding for their wanted weapons, but usually get random crap drops. And to top that, they get multiple drops of the exotics they already have. (like me, i've gotten 3 No Land Beyond from Crota) And this is where my theory comes in... Bungie has a system (fixed RNG), that basicly makes it (nearly) impossible for you to get the weapons you are missing. It's like your profile is assigned to certain weapons. Me, I get SUROS all the time. So a simple example for this system would be: "Drops assigned to Player 1: Thunderlord, Gjallarhorn etc" (these are the drops always handed out) "Drops avoided for Player 1: Ice Breaker, SUROS, etc" ( these are the drops that might never happen) (same with Player 2,3,4,5,6,7, infinity) I know there are many RNGsus followers out there, and by all means, praise him! But me, I'm not fooled by this non-sense anymore. Just like anything else, Bungie likes to control the community, so they control RNG as well. Yeah, I know, Bungie started selling Ice Breaker, which was hard to get for many of us. But that was also their decision. Why do you think it became available shortly after CE? To soothe the masses to keep them playing. Conclusion: Players will always get the same drops, and will most likely never get that one thing they are missing (in my case Gjallarhorn). Hope i made sense. I've been thinking about this for a long time, but never been able to put a word to it. Maybe i wasn't able now either... I might be wrong, but I'm sure my points makes it clear enough. [b]*edit 1*[/b] I see many say they have all Exotics, and asks me to explain that. Well, that's cause Bungie decided that your profile, amongst others, could. That's why. [b]*edit 2*[/b] *sigh* This wasn't actually meant to be a post about weapons never dropping, cause they can. It's just that it is controlled by Bungie. Sure, some of you have played for 500 hours and finally gotten a certain weapon. But because the community is continously growing, Bungie decides to hand out X amount of, ie, GHs a day, but still manage to control the weapon flow. [b]*edit 3*[/b] People seem to be believe I'm saying stuff never drops. If it says that somewhere in my post (I've tried to reword myself), that's not what I'm saying. Please, read my post over again, especially "edit 2". [b]*edit 4*[/b] Well, I expected a lot of flaming since my so called theory is far fatched, flawed and simply crappy :P I've tried my best to answer most posts I've seen fit. Thankfully most have been serious posts. Some not. I am now going to get a beer and my whisky bottle, sit down, and play some Strikes. Will check in later to see if this is still alive. Hopefully I will prove myself wrong and get GH tonight... hrhrhhr

    Nah every one has there own roll table with all weapons included in said table. It's like rolling a 100 sided dice with 3 dice to roll. All sides have all weapons. . Comes up 3 of a weapon and you win that weapon... Like a slot machine.
