Denied their crafting fix, Destiny 2 players got so unlucky that they started conspiracy theories about the MMO's drop rates, and got so loud Bungie had to correct them

Destiny 2 .

Destiny 2's new dungeon, Vesper's Host, doesn't drop weapon patterns to let players eventually craft perfect versions of its sought-after guns, which means those players must once again try their hand at some good old-fashioned RNG loot in this here looter-shooter. It's a recurring theme this Episode, with Bungie pushing the weapon chase a little harder overall. In a shockingly out-of-character move for Destiny 2 players, the need to play the video game more hasn't been well received by everyone. 

Seemingly reeling from weapon crafting withdrawal, some players quickly began to speculate – not for the first time in this MMO's life – that the odds of rolling top-tier perks are unfairly weighted against them, even inventing some napkin math and purported backend values to rationalize their bad luck. Across social media platforms like Reddit and Twitter, these RNG rumblings got loud enough that Bungie decided to step in and bring the hammer down.
