The Cryptarch – Destiny
There may be no other figure in Destiny that is both loved and hated by the community. Obtaining loot in Destiny is one of the biggest driving forces for any player, however in order to gain your shiny new gear, players need to visit The Cryptarch. He will then decode your loot engrams into gear of that specific rarity and sometimes will even reward players with exotic gear that is incredibly hard to obtain.
However, since he is the gatekeeper for all your fancy weapons, players will lay all of the blame at his feet for giving them duplicates or lower level gear. He was so notorious for giving low-level gear that Bungie actually had to adjust the entire loot system in order to make it fairer for players. Even to this day you can hear the cries of Guardians that are given their 100th Red Death pulse rifle.
