Yeah but... (Destiny)

Yes Exotic Drops in general haven’t felt very good. I have had better luck than a lot of folks. Haven’t gotten the Exotics I’ve wanted. But That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like to be able to inexpensively upgrade the ones I’ve done Quests for and would like to keep using.

But the assumption I am making based on the notes function with arbitrary numbers:

When you’re receiving an Exotic, we will take into account all Exotics you’ve found, and weight them against Exotics you have yet to acquire; this lowers the chances of receiving Exotics you already own

All Exotics you have found are a 50% chance, Exotics yet to acquire are a 50% chance. Regardless of how many are in each bucket.

Exotics that you do not yet own will be individually weighted much higher than duplicate Exotics

If you take the list of Exotics you don’t have and split it up the individual probability should be higher because there are less Forsaken Exotics.

Yes, the function assumes you have a certain volume of RW/CoO/W Exotics.

As said, I could be wrong in my understanding.
