TLDR:

3.8% chance of getting ANY ghost
0.18% chance of getting a 320 ghost

Not to be a negative nancy, and to at the risk of stirring the pot around these parts, this is just silly. What does Bungie think they are gaining by making these drops so rare? TTK launched 5 months ago, there is no new PvE content in sight... why not make it rain loot once in a while? "Getting 320 gear isn't important", people say. Well if that's the case then why not dish it out for everyone so they can at least feel a tiny bit of excitement over new gear drops?

I'm all for the "play because you enjoy the activity, not for the drops" argument. It really is the best way to approach things. But Bungie made Destiny as a loot game. Loot drops are part of the experience. Why not make them fun instead of frustrating?
