Ran dozens of regular nightfalls with no nightfall weapon drops. I really don't understand why the nightfall drop rate is this stingy ON TOP of random rolls. It's easier to get an adept version than the regular one.
Solution: Make the first platinum rank give the normal version on any difficulty. Or increase the drop rates by a significant amount. No other loot system is this low to the time spent.

Although I completely agree with you, rather than running loads of normal nightfalls, you could just run 1 grandmaster and guarantee a drop atleast. Luckily I got the roll i wanted first go (relentless strikes/eager edge and bate and switch).
