So far I have logged 67 hours in Destiny. Most time spent in story mode, strikes & 3 runs thru the Raid. I've kept up with legendary engram drops just because I knew how rare they were gonna be. I didn't realize how rare.
To this day I have had (1) legendary engram drop from a strike enemy & (1) legendary engram as a reward for the daily mission. Yup, just two, the first one luckily gave me legendary sniper, the second gave me shards.

I feel your pain. I had to use marks to buy almost everything for the first two months i played. But i kept my cool and in the last couple weeks have been blessed by RNG to get a few cool items. So just keep going soon you will have luck!
