But your infusion strategy still requires RNG to even get something worth infusing/infusion material. I can wait for a higher light level item to raise the level of a weapon or armor, I can't wait for it to drop me one that actually suits my play style if it might never drop something that suits my play style.

I guess I like some things out of my control. And even now I think the drops are frequent and varied enough that I'm making enough progress toward perfect loadouts to keep me happy. That progress is about to become even easier, but at a certain point on the easy scale I have to ask myself, will I enjoy the game as much if I can easily get exactly what I want?

I understand the frustration with RNG, but to play devil's advocate, the RNG has forced me to adjust. I experience this frequently playing on differently platforms. I'll know that X fight would be easier if only I had stuff the RNG has dropped for me on the other platform. I'm forced to look at my inventory and make do. I have a different experience than I would have, but often, in being flexible and getting out of my comfort zone, I've wrung more fun out of Destiny than I would have had otherwise.
