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)?

Gambling 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
