I'm all for the "play because you enjoy the activity, not for the drops" argument. It really is the best way to approach things. But Bungie made Destiny as a loot game. Loot drops are part of the experience. Why not make them fun instead of frustrating?
And how do you do that? With randomness you're always going to frustrate someone. Hawkmoon.The only way to do what you are proposing is to give players definite paths to all weapons, but also allow them to randomly acquire them.
Well in this specific case (Crimson Doubles) how about "Finish the quest, get a 320 Ghost". Takes a few hours. Not unsubstantial. But also not overwhelming and frustrating. Put in a few hours with a friend, get a 320 ghost. Sounds fine to me :-/
