The raids in Destiny are the exact same thing. They require absolute cooperation amongst 6 people to complete, bar none. Heck you can't even open up the door to the raid area without 6 people co-operating and standing on different plates, let alone fighting bosses or figuring out the puzzles inside. In fact, Destiny's best gear, which are raid gear and exotics come from completing various parts of the raid. Since everyone is contributing significantly to complete the raid (or else you couldn't even progress within it), loot drops are well earned overall. Plus the drops are more generous there, especially with the new raid. I have not seen anyone really complain about the raids. They are mad fun. It's just the boring SP missions that suck.
Also Destiny does have a surefire way of getting the best gear, i.e. exotics. It is through the vendor Xur who comes every weekend. Sure what he sells is random and you may not get exactly what you want every week, but he will sell guaranteed exotic gear and guns every week. He has sold almost every exotic gun in the game in the past three months of visits, so if you visited him every Friday you would have almost every exotic gun in the game apart from the PS exclusives, which aren't sold by him for some reason.
Fridays and Saturdays, which are days he is available have famously become known as Xursdays amongst Destiny fans. These days are filled with nothing but anticipation and fun.

I don´t know if you read the full article, but the Xur randoness and timely aperance is one of the complains.
And can´t you see that he is flatout a way to exploit players, frorcing them to log every weekend for a chance of geting a better weapon or a weapon of your liking?

So what would you want? They flat out just hand you everything? Exotics are not necessary for character progression. They are meant to be rare items that you have to earn over time. If Xur was around every day and it was possible to buy every exotic in the game from him, people would literally buy everything within a week with how easy it is to get the currency to buy things.
While I do not agree with some of the time gating that is done in Destiny, such as with crucible/vanguard marks, exotics should also not be handed out casually. They really should be earned from doing the hardest activities in the game (Nightfall/Raids) and Xur selling a couple every week. As I suggested before, the only thing they need to do is implement the system they have done for the new raid where the game takes into account the items you already have and increases the chances of the drops you don't have.
