Material farming is really getting out of hand here.
Its getting really common to see fireteams of 3 just head onto a planet for the sole purpose of farming materials. Sometimes, they even interrupt diligent Guardians who are completing patrol missions, and 'invite' them(usually by vigorous punching and pushing) to partake in their farming activity with them.
This is by all intents and purposes an exploit. Materials are not meant to be 'looked for' or routinely farmed. They are meant to be a pleasant surprise as you appreciate Destiny's beautiful environment and even then, limited by the amount you can gain per day.
I hope Destiny takes the same action that as they did to those unlimited ammo exploiters back at the games launch. Ban these '100 SPINMETAL/HR RUNS' on youtube harshly and permanently.
Discuss.
EDIT : 450 replies. I am glad to see that I have inspired intense discussion in my fellow forumers. Right now, the consensus seems to be that materials ( ascendant or regular) need to only be dispensed through the Nightfall, once a week.
I am in agreement. Hopefully we get confirmation from Deej soon.
EDIT 2 : Okay, okay. This thread was a joke. I thought people would be able to tell by the biased poll options and dumb content.. Lighten up, lol.

On a serious note: i think bungie should add material vendors in the tower for each faction, like you can use glimmer, crucible or vanguard marks, and perhaps even change the mark system, like when you wear a dead orbit cape you get dead orbit rep and marks, and the higher your rep level the less the materials cost, and each faction sells a specific kind of material, to encourage people to advance in each faction, so perhaps the vangaurd will specialise in spinmetal, or new monarchy in relic iron? Perhaps this is a good alternative to farming materials from planets, im not saying take the farming away because you can always pick materials up on missions but i believe my seggestion will encourage people to play abit more, as they will want to do strikes or crucible to gain rep and marks. Now for the exchange rate, im thinking perhaps 1000 glimmer or 10 marks for 3 or for pieces of material, but thats up to what the Dev's decide, i hope Deej reades this and relay's it to the team cuz i think it's something that will improve the Destiny experience

You speak the truth brotha

I caught the satire early on.. But it was very convincing. Well done.

Good thing I made it down to [i]Edit 2[/i]. I was about to instill some good ol' edjamacation.

I wish we were all as fukcin stupid as you...
-
I knew it was a joke. The problem here is the nitwits at Bungie will probably take it seriously and implement some kind of limitation.

Sorry but with that HUGE amount of retards nobody can tell the difference between the retards and sarcasm.

I feel like this is either longface or a new copycat of him/her. 1) you didn't leave an option for "leave as is" in your poll so its biased already 2) material I'd meant to be farmed. That's why it takes 12 or more for an upgrade. And the guns have multiple levels of upgrades. 3) trolling going good so far huh?
-
Uh thats what farming is dude. Exactly what you described. I routinely farm alone, if there's a ton of other players in my preferred pillaging place....guess what? Bounce to orbit and go back....takes you to a new server on same planet...almost always works. You gotta get these materials for weapons and gear dude. Let me guess...you went to your pillage place and there were 5 others pillaging the same shit you were, you got upset and came here and created this post. You do know if you are with them (not even in fireteam) you can still collect loot as long as chest is still open right?
-
I am unsure just what type of idiot you are but your village is missing you.
-
None of the above. Well personally i don't farm unless i need it then and there.
-
Instead of capping it a 16 maybe cap it a like 50 per day My reasoning is that let's say its Saturday and you are playing the whole day and you are patrolling the earth for three hours to try to get you vanguard rank up because you want some legendary gear or weapons and when you see some spin metal while doing the mission you take it you will get annoyed if you can only get 16 per day
-
How did people not see through this haha? To make it more convincing you should have had a 4th option in the poll to leave it as it is;)

Edited by The Cryptard: 10/23/2014 10:40:59 PMThis is the dumbest thing I have ever read... Because of this, I won't even respect it enough to explain why. Ignorance is bliss sir, and you must be the most blissful person online. Edit 1: oh, I was joking. Hahaha... Right?

Atheon should have a 34 percent chance to teleport a random item farmer.

You didn't put "#troll" on the thread to let people know. Jokes on you
-
Lolololol I love you OP

Why didn't you turn this into a legit thread? Mat farming is mind-numbingly boring. I'm speaking particularly of the four resources. Going to a planet and farming x resource for an hour, just to wield roughly 50-75 on average, which will barely complete one legendary is absolutely absurd. I say give enemies a chance to drop the minerals, alongside their current loot table. (So, not INSTEAD of an engram, but along side it).

Where's the option to leave things as they are?
-
Foolish post. It's fine the way it is. Get over it

16 a day? i think this will flood the market. My suggestion is to cap it at 5.
