It is? (Destiny)

In other words, a change to the appearance of engrams barely amounts to a change to the loot system and how loot can be acquired.

Um.... no it doesn't, it's a big change. You go from the possibility of getting a purple engram and it could be ANYTHING from the lowest tier, to the highest tier to it now being only high tier gear or materials- that is a huge change, and it just made them that more valuable. It may not do diddly squat to the frequency at which you get them, but at least NOW you KNOW you're getting something legendary, at the minimum.

One could say that the appearance of engrams feed the perception that the loot system was broken.

No, it was broken. Cody's suggestion (the one that is being implemented) is a good one.

I'm more of an asshole and suggested that they just make ALL engrams a single color so folks have no idea until it's decoded :P

I get that you're wanting people to lay off Bungie a bit, but the fact that the loot system is being tweaked\changed\overhauled (whatever word an individual wants to use) clearly indicates that something was not working as intended.
