What should Bungie do about material farming?
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.

This numnut made a pole for this. Wow. You are kidding me, you make me want to slam my head in a door to get the stupid stuff I just read out of my brain!!

Satirical post is satirical.

you forgot to add Bosses should have a chance to drop some materials.

Where do these chests keep coming from? What sort of anthropophobic little cave trolls are hiding small quantities of spirit bloom and 'uncommon' armor in these ornate (yet inexplicably unlocked) chests? And what sort of monsters are these people who constantly rob these poor innocent creatures of their worldly possessions? Beyond that, these criminals tend to be the same ones who are poaching said resources from nature which surely has something to do with the despicable state of many of these worlds. Obviously the moon is a little different. The criminals there are clearly the inconsiderate jerks who just dump piles of fully functioning helium coils all over the surface. What's the solution? In the short term I think all we can do is to shame these demented people, who are giving the rest of us guardians a bad name, into ceasing their pillaging and looting of the underprivileged. In the long term I think there should be some in-game court system put in place where these people can be put on trial for their crimes. Punishment would range from fines and public service (maybe helping the overworked cryptarch with decoding engrams?) to jail time (lord knows there's nothing going on in the reef right now, maybe we could send them there to watch a couple cut scenes over and over) depending on the severity of the crime.

That's some good kush, brah

4 RepliesWHAT do you work for activision! You want to make this game MORE limited. You want to slow down advancement more. These guys are the problem that's what this articles topic should be about you are out of your mind hardcore. So if you had a flat you buy a whole new car. If you had a hangnail you'd prob cut your finger off wouldn't you. Go to orbit and come back! Wow you are unique. No I get it your trolling . . . your trolling you sly dog. You are funny!

You didn't leave an option for "This post is stupid and there is nothing wrong with searching for materials to upgrade gear the way it was intended to be upgraded"

3 RepliesEdited by akaRico9: 10/23/2014 9:19:09 PMIs he serious? He's not serious? Is this kid -blam!-ing retarded? Really? They're supposed to be pleasant surprises? This is an Internet version of punked or something. This guy is a -blam!-ing joke. Idek how I am still sane after reading this, I honestly couldn't even finish reading the paragraph. Where's the satire tag?
-
Nah people believed you were stupid. You're pretty convincing.

There is nothing wrong with having to search for the material in an area. Material won't allow players to have an advantage over others in anyway. So there should be zero restrictions on material collection. At most you can get 2 each material pick up. In chest sometimes 10 plus a ammo pack and 2 engrams. Don't try to start restricting on this stuff, in the beta and alpha I was getting 5 - 8 spin metal from each stash I picked. As well it only took in the Alpha 10 spin metal per trade for reputation in the crucible or vanguard. In the Beta it was 20. Now its 50, so if that's your problem don't make it a problem because it is not. How Destiny is right now is [b]FANTASTIC[/b] so what ever argument you make for material restrictions is pointless.

Edited by Downsouthman: 10/23/2014 9:19:58 PMNothing's wrong with the farming system. Edit: So according to your post & other's I've read on this forum, playing Destiny is an exploit in & of itself. We should get Bungie to nerf the game. Oh wait...
-
Nice try...you can't do nightfall unless you get materials to upgrade armor....

4 RepliesAre you on drugs? Why would they cap materials? Its already so annoying and boring to find them.. why in the hell would you want ANY of these three choices? It only artificially makes an already content lacking game last longer. And not even in a good way. Youre either 12-14 years old, slow, or just plain retarded. I really cant tell. God bless your soul though.
-
Wtf are you seriously asking for a material nerf, pathetic.
-
Obvious troll is obvious troll. Should be very clear to everyone with how one sided the poll options are. Sure they go different ways, but every option is all for reducing availability of materials, which is not needed in any form.
-
You're a shit head. And this is dumb
-
If you did that could you imagine how dead the worlds would be. It's part of the game and one I enjoy. You run around the world looking for materials killing bad guys leveling up your guns, bettering your aim and farming to better your gear. It's a win win. An idea like this would take away a major chunk of what most consider to be an already thin game. Please community we are better than this don't feed the trolls
-
Great troll post, looks legit. 11/10, didn't read it. -IGN
-
I think it is fine the way it is
-
If we didn't need ludicrous amounts it'd be fine. How much relic iron is needed to upgrade zombie apocalypse? Like 64 for that ONE weapon. Spin metal? Definitely at least a 150+ helium filaments? Still a lot. If we only picked them up when we saw them we'd need a crap ton of them still. Material farming doesn't break the game either unlike loot caves. It's an inefficient method for gaining marks and it's only material for gear [i]you already have[/i] what's worse is that we need hundreds of each if we want to have other characters be usable in high level content. [b][i][u]Solution: [/u][/i][/b] add other materials into the game obtainable only from bosses in story missions or strikes (instead of the 200 glimmer item drop). Require each upgrade at the END (as in last 3) to need 1-3 of the material + 4-8 of regular materials. Lower current material requirements to half of what they are now.

Is this a serious post?
-
Leave it how it is.
-
Are you serious? I smell troll dung with this. If you're serious, I guess you've never played these kinds of games. Mat farming is not only legit, but nothing new. I can understand to an extent the gripping about the loot cave stuff. But this is ridiculous. I hope for your sake that your joking.....

2 RepliesMaterial farming needs to be easier to get materials not harder idk wht u r talking bout we should be able to buy the material wit glimmer
-
Shut the -blam!- up and stop making this game worse than it already is. I really hope this is a troll post.
-
Or how about no, get a new piece of gear that's legendary or higher and you will need roughly 50+ pieces of mats(spinmetal etc) if they force a 16 mat cap a day I'm done with it. This is the most retarded thing I've heard on the forums here. Here is an idea, if you don't like the roving mat farmers, leave the area and come back, and bam! You're in a new instance of that area and the chances are good they won't be there. All this bitching about EVERY facet of this game needs to stop. "I don't like how someone else is playing a game that I'm playing" boo -blam!-ing who, get over it. Also have you thought of the PvE players who don't like crucible and farm mats to get marks? No? Then shut up
