I think Bungie should create a faction specific gear that increases drop rate but has less light and other stats so its purpose can be specifically for increasing the drop rate during normal play. That or create a 3rd subclass that helps with farming. I think this would make a lot of people happy.
Also idea for Companion App, CAVE SHOOTER MOBILE OS EDITION, you could easily charge $4.99 for it people would pay that to be able to farm destiny caves on the go.
