Dear Bungie... blues are useless.
A way to make them matter and tho give a sort of sense of progression to the player could be this one: create a bar that fills up as you dismantle blue and legendary item... when its full all your gear (I would do it on the whole account but you can also chose to do it just to the character or the character and the vault) get 1 light point... or something like that you get the idea.
For example this week I farmed 1000 token for the rally and I ended up dismantling tons of things... I could have used that time to do raids increasing my light level instead I lost a week. With this method I would have still increased my light level by 2/3 points, not much but it’s something.
Of course this bar have to be slow otherwise people could get to 385 without doing milestone...
It also make senso from a lore prospective because you are destroying object that have a power inside them... where does it go? A token and some lumen? Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Actually I was running a Heroic Strike which was Void burn and didn't think to grab a Void Heavy. Party way in the Shreiker strike I thought man drop me a Void please. Sure enough picked up a Blue and it was a Void Launcher with Tracking. I still have it now. Lol
