This is my exact problem. (Destiny)

Substitute Gjallarhorn or The Last Word for Hawkmoon, and my argument wouldn't change at all. Don't focus on the specific gun I don't have, but the principle I am condemning.

I agree with you on the principle that RNG is complete bullshit. You can insert anything I want (dead orbit ship, Bittersteel shader, etc....) into the I hate RNG argument.

At the end of the day I want to be able to have a clear path to get something I want. I don't want to rely on a small random occurrence to get something. It's a complete time sink and a waste of my valuable time.

When these arguments start involving time locked exclusive content then it really gets under my skin. If they nerf the hawkmoon into oblivion before it's available on the xbox ecosystem then It'll just be another disappointment to the Destiny checklist. At least you have had the chance at getting the item.

I'm completely with you man, and the RNG stuff is even MORE troubling because of what you just said: weapon balance changes. I'm sure there are people out there who have no idea, and never will have any idea, about how amazing Suros Regime or Pocket Infinity used to be. They'll never have that experience, because you can't play with a pre-patch weapon. An experience they may have had, had the RNG gone their way.

I didn't get a pocket Infinity until post nerf, because I never got the bounty for it, because the exotic bounties which come up are RNG.
