How can such horrid primal drop rates even exist?

I completely agree which is why I am doing all Luminary tools where I have guaranteed and predictable progress. But RNG drops where I could do the content 200 million times and get nothing, no thanks.

And I agree. I think there should be a sort of guaranteed point drop that can be used to add to a sense of progression so players don't feel the fatigue of random occurrence. Now the amount of points required for the items might have to be raised if they removed random chance, but that's cool with me.
