Not that anyone will care, but still putting it out there. If the rng loot system was completly random, all this would be normal because of math. You have 17 exotics, maybe a 1/20 chance at one per drop. With 3 characters that's potentially at least 15 potential drops per week. So 15/20 or 75% chance of an exotic dropping for you each week if you complete all tasks. If you are like me and are really only looking for one thing (suros) then the odds of getting it every week is 75% times 1/17. (This doesn't even account for the fact that some exotics are probably more rare than others, as the gjall ans suros don't drop as often as NLB maybe). So assuming all exos have the same drop rate which is probably not the case, you still only have roughly 1/23 as odds of getting it this week. Which is roughly 4%. So you have a maximum, and probably less, of a 4% chance of getting your ONE exo this week, same next week, same next week. Now what are the odds of you not getting it in the next 3 months? 96% to the power of 13 is roughly 59%. Nothing in the next 6 months? Roughly 35%. So grinding for 6 months straight with 3 characters and not getting the one exo you want? So there was already a 35% chance of that happening... Not that special considering how many people are playing... My point is that once you get to the point where you want only 1 or 2 things from rng, the odds of getting them are already so small that you should contemplate the possibility of not getting them anytime soon...
