While the weapon part nerf is a problem, if you have a lot of glimmer, you can buy exotic blueprint at 2500 and an exotic shard.
By destroying the exotic, you receive the exotic shard and some weapon part. It may be faster (and more boring) to farm for glimmer than weapon part that way.

I never thought of that. I'm always at max glimmer so might do that if I'm a couple short in the future :) wonder how much it would compare to buying greens from the gunsmith

That sounds like a great idea... but 2500 for 3 weapon parts is a pretty brutal bargain.

before you dismantle anything put a couple of motes of light into the weapon with some exp on it it drops more weapon parts, glimmer, and motes

I normally receive 5 for an exotic, but I agree that it isn't stellar in any way, just that if you got spare glimmer and need parts fast to buy perks, you can bypass the problem with glimmer. This doesn't fix in any way the problem about looting parts normally though.
