Sure. By we’re not talking about something that needs to be solved. We’re talking about a rotating loot pool. That’s not a cool, fun thing to discover the mysteries of. There’s no mystery or puzzle, it’s just a weekly rotation. That’s the sort of thing that should just be clear to the player.

Just to play devils advocate here, that sounds like personal preference and how people want to play the game. To you, you just want to be told when you are able to get a weapon. Other people might not.

To me, I feel like it changes depending when I'm doing it. When EP dropped and I was a high light level enough to do EP I would have hated doing EP because I would know I was going to get a SMG. I would have honestly not done it. I would have had no idea if I was going to get anything else. All I would have seen was "SMG will drop in this event" It might say "SMG will drop this week" but how do I know that wouldn't be true next week? There are multi-drop weeks for EP. Knowing the drop would have killed the experience.

Now, that I'm leveled and have played it, it's true that I want to know exactly what will drop because I want to farm for a specific weapon.

The difference is, Bungie made the event for that first instance of people. Not for people to farm out a specific weapon (I assume). And they aren't going to chance their UI to cater to the farmers now that we have moved on to a new expansion. They are going to let the community figure it out.

[EDIT] What I think they could do to make it something in between is to add some sort of schedule or something like "available in EP in 9 days" when you select the weapon in collections.
