Thoughts on RNG going forward (Destiny)

You have to consider this in an online game. The solution is to remove RNG entirely, and make ALL gear obtainable through specific actions. There might not be any prestige left, but that's something we can do without anyway. I'd rather everybody focus on just playing the game and not showing off.

I doubt they'll do this. I agree that if someone got a Thorn randomly after someone struggled a long time to get it through the exotic quest that would bother a lot of people. Since one of the early E3 interviews (Kotaku I believe) mentioned that's where they are taking inspiration from, I would imagine we will see a significant amount of ways to get "special" gear, but that you'll still have a chance to get certain sets of gear through RNG, or through a vendor. (And I think we can mostly all agree that people that complain that they "earned" their gear through RNG when it goes on sale are being ridiculous)
