Hey everyone, vVvDARK WOLFvVv here, it's been a while since I have posted on Bungie's forums (not since I was Vampyre0422 about 3 years ago) so I will keep this as concise as possible.
I feel that Ascendant Materials in Destiny need a serious downgrade as far as loot rarity goes. In more instances than not when I actually find a legendary engram (which isn't horribly often to begin with) it yields me ascendant materials, and I have seen multiple instances of potential raid gear being replaced by ascendant upgrade materials out of raid chests.. So I propose, as a person who has a level 28, 21, and 24, and is looking for gear and not materials, that the ascendant materials be downgraded back to Rare (blue) rarity, and made as a possible drop from Decoherent (blue) engrams. or at least lower the chances of ascendant materials coming out of legendary engrams.
EDIT 1: I feel it is also worth noting that ascendant materials aren't hard to come by in the first place as you can get them via public events and daily(24 and above)/weekly missions, thus re-enforcing my argument about what their rarity is and what they should be.
EDIT 2: Another possible solution is to remove the ability to get them from engrams completely. make it so you can only earn them by way of public events, chests, and daily/weekly content. Or even simply dismantling legendary armor/weapons you don't need for ascendant materials
Thanks for your time, and of course any and all feedback is appreciated!
SEE Y'ALL STARSIDE!
P.S: Yes I am aware that this was also posted in the "Destiny" category, that was a mistake on my part. If a mod wants to remove it from the "Destiny" Category, he/she may
Also no TL;DR, I Don't Do those.

I personally feel they are and should be legendary. I actually love when I get materials in engrams because I am fully geared and the more upgrade materials the better. And you don't want then to be too easy to get because it is the final materials needed to make your gear complete so... It seems right to me. Once you have the gear you'll be wishing for upgrade materials in your engrams trust me
