Destiny is a Casino (Destiny)

There are many other "chance like" choosing methods that could incorporate several skill-related factors...why they insist on RANDOM still eludes me.

Well I just got the boots, so as soon as I get the shards, then 32 here I come.

Do you really have to ask why it's based on RNG? Because they don't trust folks to play their content for the length of time they want without it.

I do have to ask, because that "logic" doesn't follow for me. I don't think that way. People played the CRAP outa Halo without ANY of this fluff'n'stuff investment-system BS, so why would I assume they'd take a different approach with Destiny?

Because Destiny is a casino with guns and activities instead of slot machines, roulette wheels, and card tables. You bet time instead of money, and can play coop with your friends.

Think about it. Patrol is the penny slot machines, the raids are the high roller blackjack tables.

In a way, it's not even in the same genre as Halo.
