I love how everyone is astonished how you don't have thousands of armour mat's. Well noobs. In HoW, you would typically spend a shit tonne of weapon parts rerolling your Y1 weapons to get your desired weapon roll to cater to the then current 'meta'. I personally went through ~6000 weapon parts at that time. In TTK, you would spend a shit tonne of armour mat's rerolling your exotic armours. Getting the optimum builds possible for every primary/secondary weapon with every subclass with every character. Aiming for at least Tier 10 for all subclass armour builds. This ability to reroll exotic armour only become a feature with TTK. Hence the armour mat's drought. Well phucking der!! Who would have ever phucking thought huh? Maybe thats why I see players at 335 light and 500+ points stacked into their "strength" and not even at their first tier with "intellect" and "discipline". Because light level is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than build optimization, right? Because as simple as this game is, the simple mechanics are still beyond a disappointingly large portion of the player base. If weapon parts are now sold, than there is no coherent excuse why armour mat's shouldn't be sold.
