Okay, here's what I always point out in threads like this; Random is random. More often than not, I see the legendaries and exotics go to the midrange players than the bottom rung. Every player who participated rolled the same die with the same modifiers, and some people just get lucky. Now, you will find people here with similar stories and "evidence," but this doesn't signify a trend. It's because people who are upset by it are looking for validation, and thus, looking for threads like this one. The people who aren't upset by this, or don't have it happen to them to begin with, don't. They don't say anything, they don't post anything, hell, they probably see the thread and pass right over it. In fact, it's probably a safe bet to say that ANY trend that shows up in the forums is the vocal minority. You shouldn't be relying on RNG for gear anyway. Anything the "activity rewards" screen says you won should be considered a bonus at best. Your main goal in the crucible should be grinding rep and marks to get legendary gear that way. Now for exotics, it's a slightly different story, because every single exotic is subject to RNG in some form or another (xurs inventory, raid chests, standard drops, legendary engrams, wether you get an exotic bounty or not). That's by design; they're supposed to be harder to get to offset the bonuses they come with. So you can aim for some, but really, it's up to the game what's available to you in regards to exotics. I hope this quelled some arguments. Knowing these forums, though, it likely incited more. So I guess we'll see how this goes?
