I honestly don't understand Destiny's not being able to send you "lost or missing" items. They are 100% able to send things to your vault whenever they feel like it. Remember, the story of the Fate of All Fools, and how we got our New Year's gifts. I there is a way around this that works exceptionally well for the players, and Destiny! Each legendary or exotic item will come with an ID number. It's like the fingerprint of exotic weapons. If you lose an item, contact Destiny, and tell them the item you lost and the ID number. The employee will proceed to search for the number in a database. If the item exists, it will show up. If it does not exist in any vault or character, then it is confirmed that the item did go missing, because nobody would know that number unless it existed at one point in time. This is a foolproof system to prevent anybody trying to get free stuff. No number, no replacement. I really do hope this article is seen by Destiny, because it could change the future of the game, and turn a lot of complainers into big supporters. So please respond with your thoughts on this idea; improvements, suggestions, stuff like that, so it can be seen by Bungie. Thanks for reading.

They would have to dedicate server memory to track everything you have or have ever had in your inventory. Think of all the weapons and other gear you pick up everytime you play and then dismantle it for materials. Now multiply that by the millions of people online each day. Now multiply that by whatever time period this info would be stored (a week? 2 weeks?) This would be a huge chunk of data eating up valuable server space.

Thanks for your input regarding the replacement of lost weapons. I'm going to move your topic over to [b]#Feedback[/b] for documentation.

That system could be abused. People would be able to use it to transfer items between people and who wants to keep track of all those numbers?

The problem is how do you distinguish between real and false claims without investing time that you have to pay somebody for?
