So these are the Currencies/Materials that shipped with Vanilla Destiny (4 months ago): 1.Glimmer 2.Strange Coins 3.Motes of Light 4.Crucible Marks 5.Vanguard Marks 6.Spinmetal/Spirit Bloom/Helium/Relic Iron 7.Hunter/Warlock/Titan clothing 8.Weapon Parts 9.Ascendant Energy/Shards 10.4 Glimmer Buffs (Ether Seeds etc.) 11.Tempered (Iron Banner Buff) 12.Weapon XP buffs (Telemetry) 13.Sparrow Buffs 14.Iron Medallion (Lost IB Matches) The first DLC alone added this stuff: 1.Exotic Shard 2.Radiant Shard/Energy 3.Runed Core (upgrading the Murmur) 4.Crux of Crota (upgrading to Necorchasm) 5.Vanguard Commendations 6.Crucible Commendations If HoW keeps up this trend and will be introducing Furry Shards/Energy it`s time to consult a brain plumber. Especially for new Players it has become an utter mess. Out of the new 6 Mats, 2 are there for gimmicky purposes only (Runed Core/Crux of crota), seriously needed each of these wepaons its own material? Why is there no Hawkstone or Thornblood or Stutter of Crota to upgrade certain Handcannons? (I´m joking, don`t do it) Please think this through: you made a good start by letting us buy materials with Marks, now see to it that the other mats/currencies vet players are drowning in get a reasonable use in this game. Motes of Light and Ascendante Shards/Energy have no use at all for Players playing your Endgame Content. Make your currencies dealable, like you started to do so with the possibility to exchange Shards/Energies at Eris. Stop bombarding us with useless ships that not even drop 10 Glimmer when I scrap them and take longer than an Exotic to dismantle! Why is it that I can`t exchange 10 Ascendante for 1 Radiant Shard? Why can`t I buy Plasteel Plating when the progress on my Titan simply is blocked because I might have already Raid/Exotic Armor pieces, but can`t level him up because I lack Plasteel? There are so many issues with this Currency-Creep, not the least that our Vaults are bursting, please come up with some exchange rates, that takes maybe the average time a 30+ Player needs to gain stuff and take that as a thumbrule for a Vendor that lets us exchange stuff. 1 Hour Endgamegameplay:= 5 Radiant Materialy := 15 Ascendant Materials:= 5000 Glimmer := 0.5 Commendations := 1 Mote of Light:= 50 PLasteel/Hadronic/Sapphire Find a way to let us exchange the Materials/Currencies we have in abundance with something that has actually use for us. I´m not suggesting that you are making everything buyable with Glimmer alone, but atm it`s really not working for some of us, that have no use for the 10th Commendation, and the 150th Mote. I´m not even suggesting that you make these Deals permanent, maybe Shards/Radiants can only be exchanged on Weekends and There could even be a rotation were this Vendor only has 3 options per day, and a special Offer for male or female Exos/Human/Awoken/Titans/Locks/Hunters only each day, a little bit like Xur, if you will. [b]TLDR; Make a Vendor that exchanges Materials/Currencies[/b]
