I know a lot of people are fed up with grinding for materials such as Spirit bloom etc but yet still do the daily bounties, I had an idea about adding materials as a reward alongside reputation for doing patrols , this would remedy this issue.
Give a like for Bungie to see otherwise we won't get any feed back on this idea.
Bonus check out my armour skins collection idea: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/78113555/0/0/1

Very early on I noticed in the Legend (on the character page - advisors) that listed something in the next closest "bonuses" similar to this. One of the bonuses was to complete a total of 50 Kill Target patrols. The tooltip seemed to indicate that one would start receiving the planet's material from the bounties in addition to the rep as you suggest. And one day, it was gone. The grimoire card no longer had a bonus to it, and I never got a chance to see if it was what I was thinking, since I was short about 20 Kill Targets. I think this would be a nice little addition. Maybe make it drop the same as if you had looted a node on the planet; 1 or 2 drop for each patrol completed. Even if you don't stop at every node, you at least get something for going to the planet.
