You make valid points on the game design, but... (Destiny)

PoE gives you absolutely nothing until it is 100% complete, which causes problems. And even then, aside from Etheric Light, the rewards aren't particularly worthwhile.

My one thought here is that you can hate the RNG, or you can hate the loot, but it makes no sense to hate both. I think what you really hate is the RNG, since the possible loot is (AFAIK) near limitless in possibility. My friend pulled his first Gjallarhorn from that chest, and I pulled a Truth along side him. Granted, I sharded the Truth because I already have it, but it still showed some promising results. If those can be pulled, I'm pretty sure the possibilities are high. Now, RNG may screw you out of it either by chance, but I don't think it's the loot that's a problem.
