Highly redundant exotic engrams? (Destiny)
Anyone else seeing about 30% of their exotic engrams decrypt to something they already have? I've gotten 3 Mercyless, 3 Celestial Nighthawks, two Coldfusions, two of the arkstrider vests, two doomfangs, etc. It's kind of dissapointing considering all the different stuff that is out there.

I've gotten 5 of the same Titan helmet... I feel you. I can't even remember the name, but that's probably due to emotional trauma.

I think I have gotten 6 Prospectors and no other exotic weapons. Exotic armor is the same helmet and legs over and over.
I think legendary drops have the same problem. I keep getting the same guns over and over, and I know there are other available guns I have not received. Once I do receive something new, it seems like the next several drops will be the same. I'm starting to wonder if that's intentional.

Agreed. Although I complain about not getting new stuff, it's amazing infusion fodder.

I've noticed this, too. I have coveted the Philomath gear for my Warlock, but was getting Heiro Camo gear 80-90% of the time. It took me forever to get the full Philomath set. Then I ran with INSANEdrive last night and noticed his awesome High-Minded complex robes, which I'd never seen before. By the end of the night, I had two of them and the Ankaa Seeker robes (which are exactly the same, but with the new cricible bird emblem on them).

I guess I've been lucky. I've only gotten one extra Coldheart and one extra Nezarec's Sin. Infusion!
Is this really any diffrent then D1?

Don't forget that each Destination has its own unique set of gear. So if you spend a lot of time on a single destination, you're probably more likely to get repeats. Obviously a moot point for exotics, but getting repeat exotics just sounds like Destiny.
I actually get substantially more repeqts on Destination gear (proportionally) than I have gotten with Exotics. I've had 3 repeat exotics.
The problem for me is that no Destination is willing to drop Titan arms and I really want some smaller shoulders.
