They thought that the vault would be used rarely? (Destiny)

I think that Bungie was picturing more "I got Bad Juju with my Warlock, and I'm giving it to my Hunter" than "I use this Gjallarhorn with every character."

Maybe they did play testing in a grind free environment. Perhaps with easy drops and cheat codes.

And they said that they got used to throwing away characters as builds changed.

If you stare at something long enough then you stop seeing it. maybe they just couldn't see the life of the ordinary Joes playing the released game, people who don't see Gjallarhorns very often and can't quickly get amazing builds for every character.

Nightfalls and Raids weren't done every week to grind gear and mats: they were play tested. They couldn't wait for luck to equip a character for a play test. They probably had a matrix of characters and gear and tested every combination in order (repeatedly). Or they used cheat codes.
