Bungie,
Most of us have a lot of stock of ascendant material that's doing nothing but collecting dust. An exchange from mostly useless material (especially shards) to relevant material would be great. Energy is only needed on legendary guns, but for shards, they're completely obsolete the moment you have raid gear. Giving us an exchange makes the material relevant again, and helps clean up some needed vault/character space.

If Ascendant Material can be traded into Radiant Materia; there is absolutely no point of adding Radiant material in the first place, kid.
