Final edit: This is regarding having a chance of getting no drops from hard mode. A lot of people, including myself, have gotten very frustrated with this to the point where we just don't want to play anymore.
PROOF THIS IS NOT A GLITCH AND SOMETHING WHICH IS INTENDED BY BUNGIE:

It's not easy with a LFG team and after you spend a while fighting the boss, you get nothing or just normal mode loot. What's the point of doing it on Hard if you won't get loot anyway?
I've seen it all. Vault of Glass normal and hard, Crota's End normal and Hard, along with Prison of Elders. I've been through forever 29 but never complained about the rewards but this time I am as every other encounter gave you something every time.
Below is my original post.
Don't I just love it when I spend 20 min on a encounter only to get nothing? Last week it was nothing from sisters. This week, it was nothing from Golgoroth and I was the one who had the gaze. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to remove drops completely is a dumbass who deserves a slap to the face.
GIVE US GUARANTEED DROPS ON EVERY ENCOUNTER!
Just to clarify one thing, I'm not asking for straight 320 drops with perfect rolls. I'm just asking for drops. Now, with the variety of things you can get, you won't be done immediately. You get a drop, then it needs to be 320 and it needs desirable rolls.
For those of you saying "It has always been like this", it hasn't. I've been here since week one (Sign of Founders on my Hunter) and I'll tell you why. Before you got shards and / or energies. You could use those to upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful. You got something out of it if you remembered correctly. Now, since you don't need ascendant materials to upgrade anymore, the equivalent could be seen as weapons or gear. You use high light stuff and upgrade your initial gear and make it more powerful.
If you do a normal raid and complete it, then do a hard raid, or just do a hard raid straight then you have the chance of getting nothing which has 310+ light until Oryx. What was the point of doing the previous encounters then if they don't guarantee you items? And it's not like this is infrequent. I didn't get anything from 3/5 encounters last week and 2/5 encounters this week. How is that fair?
Also, those of you calling me "entitled", I am entitled. I finished the activity therefore I earned the rewards. If you disagree with that then why not just remove loot completely from every activity?
Edit: 250+ replies. Let's keep going until Bungie sees this
Gecko 77 made a very good point:
[quote]Players should always feel like they are progressing. They should come out of the raid atleast one light level higher than when they started.[/quote]
triplearod also made another very good point:
[quote] The main difference in VoG and Crota's End is all weapons were exactly the same so you had to only get them once, low drop rate is fine in that instance. Armor may have different stat roll but the maximum light was always the same
Now were not only rolling against the chance it drops, but its Atk/Def values, and its perks. Im fine with the variance as it makes the raid more replayable, but something should drop even if it is a 310 hallowed pieces of gear. Maybe that gear will have stats & perks I like and is worth infusing up.[/quote]

it's a disgrace to the consumer

Signed... Hard Oryx for hours and nothing? Really Bungie and where are my 20 moldering shards...
-
Signed I hate spending hours on Warpreist/Golgoroth/Sisters/Oryx for no reward I don't spend legitimate hours but still. Time had been wasted basically
-
If you don't like it change games and quit crying about it. Everyone wants to be 320 first time they run the raid, just stupid, play the game and have fun with friends.

A funny thing happened to loot drops on Oryx... Hotfix 2.0.1.5.6.4.9.3.9.0.1 patch notes: Temporarily removing any chance at all to get actual loot drops on Oryx until a fix is ready for the chance to get no loot "glitch". A permanent fix will be implemented at a later date when the raid is no longer relevant.
-
Agreed. Signed. No drops is bullschlitz
-
But don't you also looove it when you DO get a drop and it's an antiquated ruin? ;-;
-
Feels like a waste of time, empty grind, I don't feel rewarded for it.

I haven't done the hard mode yet. Only the normal raid and I didn't get anything then. I believe that if you go through the raid you should get something.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey, now, you're an All Star get your game on, go play Hey, now, you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire. How about yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored. Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas I need to get myself away from this place I said yep, what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow. And all that glitters is gold Only shootin' stars break the mold https://media3.giphy.com/media/6HWIE0zOONDu8/giphy.gif

Yea!!!

Signed. You should at least get something.

Edited by platysargent101: 10/29/2015 2:55:02 AMYea they need to increase the drop rate. I have done hard mode 3 times and have very little to show for it
-
20 mins? Try an hour or 3
-
The only change I want is so that giving up 20 moldering shards can never ever reward you with moldering shards. What a colossal joke.
-
Signed!!!
-
Agreed

This loot system is total BS and I'm sick of wasting my time every damn week running the raid 3 times for nothing but moldering shards or nothing at all. If it wasn't for 310 exotics dropping for me then I wouldn't even be level 300 because when I do get a drop from the raid it is always 300-303. I've had to infuse 310 exotics into all my gear in order to hit 307 on each character. I'm stuck with 300 boots on all characters because I can't get any to drop in raid and the exotic boots for Taken King are obviously locked out of the loot drop system.

Signed! Bring back the old loot system!
