New drop added to the raid (Raid Replay Token)

I would like to see a new item drop from the weekly loot lottery - I mean Raid - and I think there may be a few others that might agree with the idea. Here is why, three raids and in each raid I got the same friggin shader,. So I am forced to continue to enter into the Raid Lottery once each week for as many times as it take to get the couple of pieces of gear to hit level 30 and with my luck (14 straight hours of play this weekend and saw 1 legendary drop - an item for another class - while the two mates that joined me for the last 2 hours got 3 legendary engrams drop between the two of them, as well as another 3 pieces of legendary gear from the time restricted events we ran - sigh). Here is what I am asking for them to add. [b]A raid replay token[/b]. If you get one during a raid you can use it to reset the raid and run it a second time that week. The drop rate on this would be the same as the one for ascendent materials, shaders and such, but would not drop if you were awarded a piece of raid gear. Since the game has but one raid, as it is we get one chance per week at the lottery. Yes I know some people are creating multiple clones of their guardian and swapping gear over to run it up to three times, but I and others do not have the time to do that, and honestly I think Bungie will end up flagging gear - the same flag they use on your guardian - to stop them from the gear swaps and going back in. If the game had 5 raids it would be a different story, since you could try another raid if the first one was not lucky for you, but with just this one chance at the lottery per week, it makes me want to stop and go do something that actually awards me for my time and effort. This is not a freebie for gear, you still have to run the raid, you still have to win the raid lottery, the new drop just gives you another chance at it, a token of your accomplishment that was not rewarded in that particular run. Of course I'd hope that they make it so that you cannot get both a piece of Raid gear AND the replay token, but even if you did I do not see that unbalancing anything. This drop would be included in the list of lower tier awards, so once the process has decided that you are not getting an upper tier reward and goes to select one of the lesser ones (ascendent materials, shader, ship, etc) this would be added to that list of possible drops. This would not decrease the chance of getting an upper tier piece, and would increase the variety of the lower tier awards so there might be less repeating. The replay would be awarded just like an Exotic Bounty (taking up one of those slots until used) and would clear the Raid Played flag on your guardian allowing you to run the event again. There could even be a limit of how many times in a week you could use one. They would not crossover onto other Guardians on the account, and destroying them should provide one of the Ascendant Materials. The other thing that this would accomplish is provide an incentive to those that have done it once, to go back in and run it with those that have not - and still have a chance at getting something out of it. Thanks for thinking about this and I hope I am not alone in either my anquish at the loot lottery system. Good Hunting mates and I will see you in the tower.

  • Better yet have a raid vendor in the tower who only sells gear. You get a certain number of tokens for each checkpoint you pass. Then we can save up to buy the gear from our crappy luck. This system is already in place with xur and vanguard/crucible marks, why not the raid? #feedback
