Thoughts on RNG going forward (Destiny)

Just thinking about it more, I think I'd be shocked if they took away guaranteed ways to get items and replaced it with even generous RNG. A huge complaint since day one has been how prevalent RNG is in Destiny, and with how good they have been at paying attention to community complaints I think it would seem a huge step backwards to everyone if they got rid of vendors completely. I'm still expecting there to BE RNG in the game, but I think they are going to try and bring it in line with how they mentioned they expected RNG to feel when the game was released: as a bonus. If they leave RNG the way it is, but add dedicated ways to get weapons and gear in The Taken King I think that would make a lot of us in the community very happy.

I'm hoping Trials of Osiris is an indicator of where they're going. If you go flawless, you are guaranteed to get an elemental primary. Which gun and which element you get are still randomized, but you know what the possibilities are going in.
