I suspect they tweaked the rate already. (Destiny)

Yeah, I noticed that it goes away once you sign out. I've been trying to re-use it after every boss kill so I don't forget.

Sounds like I just had higher expectations than I should have, I think people are right -- this is expected drop rate. I'm up to 4 exotics for about 20 of the coins. So not bad, all told. Mathematically that about one exotic per 5 coins, which I expect is the point -- about a 20% drop rate chance.

I really don't want to farm with them, I like the idea of having a chance at better drops while I'm out doing other things. I'm concerned that they will be nerfed into oblivion. I really hope they simply add a cooldown to them. I think 10-15 minutes would be about right.
