Boy was I happy to hear there would be a quest for the exotic instead of rng (40ish runs on oryx and counting)... one week later and im a very depressed gamer. I am plagued by typically bad rng and adding rng to this quest hurt me in a different way. This essence is damn near impossible to get and it makes me so sad. I wanted another divinity quest so bad and its so sad to see basically an all rng quest to replace the rng drop at the end. Sure it can be achieved faster, but maybe it will take you more time than it would have with getting it at the end. We lost the experience of getting a raid exotic first time for an all rng quest instead of the experience of beating a difficult quest like divinity. So sad to see bungie, please buff the drop rate at least.

Apparently the only guaranteed drop is Crota on your first time per week. The RNG for this quest is just as bad if not worse than the other raids. 1-in-5 but 20x versus 1-in-20 chance. On average, Necrocasm is ~15 weeks of raiding. (~60 raids) On average Conditional Finality is around 7 weeks. (~20 raids) If they just let you get a guaranteed drop from Crota on each of your characters instead of just once per week per account.
