Considering that none of the queens gear i actually need I now have little reason to even do the missions for gear especially since I can't get shards. Nerfing the farming was understandable, BUT this game does so little to reward you for anything else still. Finishing a strike gives you nothing really, as far as I can remember each strike gives gear, if it does, at the same level as when you first get access to it, so nothing to really help you get to 26 to at least be able to do that raid, which in turn is also the only way currently to get to 30. The boss drops nothing almost always and is probably subject to the same rng as any other enemy.
