Anybody else thinking "IB just isn't worth it?" Or, how about Bunghole's reductions in material rewards?

Looked at the rewards when Iron Banana started and said to myself that dealing with the lag and mismatched matchmaking just wasn't worth the grind (I suck at PvP. I'd like to be matched with others who suck as well. Or, at least have good people put on the team that can put the other teams good people in check.). I went against my better judgment and went in for a match this morning. I wasn't disappointed with my expectations. Before I quit, the opposing team had double our score. My enthusiasm for destiny waned sharply with the most recent update from Bungie in which material rewards have been significantly reduced. With 2k+ hours in the game I was already running low on weapons parts due to the infusion process. Now they are even more scarce. Strange coins; reduced. Motes of light; increased for public events (yeah right; you bumped your head if you think I'm going to seek out public events for motes of light). Next I saw the data-mined info for consumables. The only conclusion I could draw was that Bungie was increasing the scarcity of resources to encourage IRL purchasing when they put it in the game. I want to thank you Bungie. I normally get on and play your game for several hours everyday. Yesterday I went on as usual but, just didn't find myself motivated. Got off and spent the evening with my wife. I tried to get on this morning and again, after a shit game of IB, just don't find myself interested. I'll be on again. I'm addicted. However, Bungie's most recent decisions are helping me kick that addiction. Bungie is attempting to increase peoples play time as indicated by its most recent decisions in the update but, instead is helping people like me with OVER 2,000 hours in this game either quit or significantly reduce their investment in-game. I needed what Bungie has given; motivation for a way out. Probably not good for Bungie though.
