Allow Purchase of Strange Coins, Motes, etc. With Glimmer
I would just like to quickly propose a decent (IMO) and easy solution to a problem most have with random drops.
What if you could buy for example, a strange coin for 7k glimmer, a mote for 6k glimmer, an exotic bounty for 25k glimmer, etc from a new vendor. Would anyone like this because it allows people to level up to participate in raids without relying on randomness of drops being on your side to get to a high enough level (because glimmer isn't really random)?

1 ReplyThere needs to be some type of Glimmer sink besides the ammo you buy.

3 RepliesNot sure if anyone suggested it already as I haven't read a lot of replies but what about using marks to buy Coins and Motes? That way you are at least taking away the ability to buy legendary gear if you decide to spend the marks on coins/motes
-
How about exchanging 10 motes of light for 1 ascendant shard or energy?
-
I will agree that there needs to be a better system in place than just random chance.

13 RepliesIf it's anything about buying Motes and Strange Coins then it needs to be something like: 3 Strange Coins for 1 Mote of Light OR 3 Motes of Light for 1 Strange Coin It's way too easy to make Glimmer.
-
A little too cheap, don't you think?

3 RepliesWhat about Xur selling legendaries for glimmer? It would let people grab a couple of levels, let the casual players get some decent gear, and the hardcore people could just dismantle them for shards. I don't think it would be game breaking by any means. 15,000 glimmer for chest or helm, 10,000 for boots and gloves.

Bahahahahah.., oh wait.., you weren't kidding?

4 RepliesNo not a good idea and I hope Bungie don't go for it. Buying legendary items or exotics should be tough and time consuming. Making things easier will ruin the game.

Xur sells the 5 heavy ammo packs for the price of 1 Strange coin, I feel like that is the correct conversion. 950 * 5 = 4,750. Glimmer is pretty easy to obtain so I agree with the 7k - 10k Glimmer conversion. If there was ever a currency exchange system.
-
Exotic bounties, motes, coins don't help you in the raid and you can grind for gear?
-
1 ReplyGambling would be a good way to lose glimmer. Now when I get maxed glimmer I throw it away on engrams or ammo packs which I don't really use anymore

3 RepliesEdited by UnDead Machine: 10/15/2014 9:10:59 AMKeep the prices high enough to limit exploits. Strange coins and motes of light should not be allowed to be stored in the vault prevent farming. -edited-
-
I like the idea,I really don't know what to do with my 25k glimmer!!! They could make the glimmer cap higher (like 100k),I'd be happy even paying 25k for a strange coin :)
-
How a bout you buy a strange coin or a mote for max glimmer, and you can only do it once a week. Glimmer is really easy to farm.
-
1 ReplyI agree we need something else to spend our glimmer on but not strange coins/motes of lite. Maybe sparrow up grades and a more variety of shaders
-
Rare engram gambling

1 ReplyEhhhhhh to risky then everyone would have that kind of stuff but then it would give u a reason to save up ur glimer

7 RepliesNo. Just.... No. That would make Xur pointless and everyone would have exotics instead of earning the strange coins/motes to get the stuff Xur sells
-
25001 glimmer for each coin/mote :D

8 Repliesnope. prefer to earn my strange coins and mote of light. but yes we need more to spend on things
-
Ehh that would be pretty lame. Its easy enough to get motes and strange coins.
-
this is a smart idea. let the glimmer farming begins.
-
Ahh yes make exotics even more common!
