Thank you for the feedback. I feel this thread is more friendly and better set up for genuine advice than any place I have looked (including IGN forums).
I was really hoping this game came out on the PC because my aim is much better with a keyboard and mouse than on a console (compared to other players that is).

Just when I thought I was gonna be a 21, the progress bar stops. Apparently I'm short a pair of gauntlets with light in them I can't find. A shooter that halts your progression because you're short a specific armor piece. Someone at Bungie needs a swift kick in the nads. Seriously.
I never played PSO tho so I wouldn't know. Agreed. Things like this is where Bungie failed big time. For a game that Bungie took pride on "Social interactions" They went out of their way to limit such things. No chat. No matchmaking for weekly strikes. No proximity voice. I mean really?
By three 28's, one 27, and two 26's. They averaged around a thousand kills each with a 4.0 KD. Thats around 6000 enemies. I killed around 900 in a playthrough of RE4, and I doubt I've killed 1000 enemies in the entire game of Destiny so far. Holy shit, I am unprepared.
Yeah. I've been farming too. Just got 1 purple drop once. And it all turned into useless shit I don't need.
I mean...ok I get the fact they are supposed to be rare, but having a purple engram(which is rare as ****) turn into shit after hours of farming is the most disappointing feeling ever. The game has like 3 dices of RNG against you. And even when you do finally get a legendary item it turns out to be for another class. WTF?
Having said that I'm not quitting. I'm stubborn like that which means this love/hate relationship between me, Bungie and Destiny is only going to grow.
You can sorta tell Bungie is new to this whole "loot" thing. Making rookie mistakes that other devs made recently in another game (Diablo III) but fixed. Bungie shoulda implemented a smart loot system like D3 now has.
I got on for a short time tonight and my friend showed me a farming spot on the strike mission for Venus. I got my first ever Legendary Engram, opened it, and got a legendary helmet for my hunter. I was prepared for the disappointment of opening it and getting a stupid uncommon or something too. I go to sleep happy tonight.

There is a cave of non stopped enemies on earth. Stay far enough back from the cave and they just keep coming out. I got like 20 greens, 10 blues, and a few purples.
Once you get to the cosmodrome go to the far left....the very far left where there is a building. Work your way through the building and get back outside. The cave is to the left side straight ahead. You will probably see others doing it. When I did it there was like 5 other people doing it so you should see it.
Once at the cave though stay back a little ways because if you're too close they wont spawn. In fact if they are spawning kinda slowly then you are a little too close. Once you run out of ammo just run into the cave, get your drops, pick up your ammo(which should be covering the cave floor) and repeat. It is the best place to farm because the enemies are only lvl 5s and the drops scale to your level.
