I love playing through the Raid just for the enjoyment of it, but it is beyond frustrating to get to the end and see several members of your fireteam awarded sweet gear while you get nothing but some ascendant energy and a ship. It creates feelings of disappointment that tarnish the experience.


I half expect this is the purpose. You can't have a skinner box without disappointment. You need people to experience 'losing', so that the 'winning' (when it comes) lights up all the right areas of the brain.

I actually mean this in the least cynical way possible.

I do think this same thing could be accomplished though with a guaranteed piece of Raid armor, but it is always random. You'll still be disappointed when you get the same piece 3 times in a row, but not nearly as annoyed as when you only get shards over and over. Not to mention your chances will be much higher for getting the gear you do need.
