Awhile back, PetetheDuck lamented about how he wasn't having any luck getting the last of the raid gear he needed, despite running the raid regularly and on multiple characters to boot. I don't play with Pete, but going by his posts I'll assume he's a pretty balanced guy since I don't see him bashing the game, or being a crybaby about things all the time, in fact he's more likely to post the positive things he like (which is a rarity on gaming forums these days) so when he complains about the randomness and frustration that is Destiny: The quest for stuff, I'm inclined to listen, as opposed to someone else who works "Destiny is Lame" into every post they make.

I wish that what DeeJ described before Destiny launched was true: that there were specific gear rewards for specific missions. Unfortunately the only weapons that you can acquire that way are the Khvostov, Stranger's Rifle, and Murmur.

The 'one sitting' trigger for Flawless Raider should have been used to make the Mythoclast a guaranteed drop for a full hard mode Vault of Glass run. Instead, the past two weeks, I used LFG sites to join random players at the Atheon checkpoint, skipping the entire Raid.

What DeeJ described is a beautiful thing. What Destiny provides causes players to find ways to exert minimum effort farming techniques because rewards are unreliable.
