Now that you cannot get ascendant shards from Queen's Wrath gear... what is the point? At least for those of us who already have our legendary gear, etc... we don't need anymore useless legendary gear that isn't any better then what we have taking up our inventory/vault space. I do not see why Bungie has decided that it is not well and good for us to salvage this legendary gear to get ascendant shards... which, for me at least, gave me incentive to do the missions. I understand nerfing the loot cave, but this is absolutely ridiculous and dumb...

Even if you aren't getting shards anymore, the bounties are still worth doing for the extra Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and FWC rep you can get for them. Every rank after 2 with every faction gets you a free legendary(that can be turned to shards), plus you can get shards from events and your daily heroic. Upgrading isn't hard, you just gotta do the right content.
