Exotic rng and the grind

After grinding like a lunatic for the Vex mythoclast, I have a suggestion. The current, what seems to be totally random luck based bs way to receive the raid (or dungeon) exotic gear is killing the player motivation to shoot for loot. Now I don't know what the possibility factor is behind the scenes but let's pretend it's 5%. So I'm now investing 1-3h of my time to complete a full raid once a week to have a 5% chance to earn the exotic. Or on grind week, I keep repeating the boss battle over and over. After talking with other LFG players in the raid, several had over 40 or 50 clears without the exotic dropping. What is the point to this? How does this engage the player and motivate them to enjoy the game? It's completely unreasonable to repeat a mondane task dozens of times - at worst close to 100 times. The Necrochasm autorifle aquirement is a little different and doesn't seem to rely on luck that much. This is a good thing but it should still have some sort of cap on amount of raids completed - Full runs or boss grind. My suggestion is that on pure rng based exotics (like the Mythoclast) have an increasingly better rng the more you grind it. For example, you start off with say 5% chance. Then after a full clear, you get +2 to the value and on boss only clear you get +1. This way it would pretty much guarantee a drop when you approach the 50 clears mark. The challenges would amp it up as usual. I'm sure Bungie has some better math to apply here but this is just an example. Please make the exotics more available to us casual players and not just to the hard core grinders. Thank you.

  • For RON u get it pretty much guaranteed after the flawless and high chance after triumphs which was good. Where vow and vog and dsc and kf fell flat was that there was no upping drop protection. I am a hardcore grinder. I did my vow of the disciple 3 times a week every week. Just for me to get the raid exotic the next season somewhere in the 4th week I believe. For how much these weapons are worth in game wise it's ridiculous that you have to go past 20 clears IMO. They did a really good job with conditional but the rest is just never used except a few like vex or touch of malice or maybe eyes of tomorrow in gambit.
