I'm confused. (Destiny)

How do we know that the content of packages (or engrams) are predetermined before we open (or decrypt) them? Has Bungie said so?

If we don't know, and considering that the loot tables are about change, wouldn't it be prudent to not open or decrypt anything until after HoW drops if we care primarily about getting new stuff?

With specific regard to engrams- if you read the description very closely before you cash it in, you can tell what you will get, to some extent.

For example, you might come across a purple primary weapon engram in the wild. Read the description before you redeem it. The text can be different, and that will clue you into if you are actually going to get what was advertised (in this case, a primary weapon) or if you will just get mats.

As to your other questions, idk.
