If the pinnacle grind is staying in the game the experience needs improvement

Personally I'm in the camp that thinks at this point power level should be removed from everything except the artifact. That said, I don't think the power level grind is completely without merit. It does at least motivate me to play a wider variety of activities. And it is nice to see number go up. But if you're going to keep forcing us to do this every season it absolutely needs to be less of a miserable experience. Last week I got 5 straight energy weapons for pinnacles. This week I got 4 straight chest pieces. It doesn't feel good to be on a hamster wheel getting zero progress for your efforts because of garbage RNG. I've seen quite a few suggestions on here, but I'm not going to speculate on which of them, if any is the answer. That's why you're the game dev and we're just the players. Please figure something out, because at this point this terrible experience is killing my enjoyment of the game, and I know I'm not alone.
