Why would u bother wasting a coin on ammo synthesis when you can buy it with worthless glimmer? It's much easier to accumulate glimmer than strange coins

I disagree. Let's look at the time of each to acquire. One weekly = 10-20 minutes and get 9 coins 9 coins can purchase 45 heavy ammo synth How long does it take you to get 950 glimmer= Depends on glimmer consumables but it's some decent time and To buy 45 ammo synth you need 42,750 glimmer. How long will that take you to get that?? [b]42,750 glimmer !!! [/b] My guess is way more then 10-20 minutes spent in one weekly strike.

Your value doesn't take into consideration the value of a strange coin in the fact that only strange coins can buy exotic gear.
-
However IF and When you own exotic gear and every exotic gun ....then does the value of strange coins drop ?? Guess what?! I have every exotic piece of gear and every exotic gun and 3 raid sparrows and 3 DLC trick sparrows. So the only item of value that Xur sells for me personally is the heavy ammo synth. If I do choose to buy an exotic from Xur it's only to then break it apart for energy or shards. But frankly I have more then enough shards and energy from running hard raids 3 times a week. But that's just me.

I have 120 strange coins and I own nearly all exotics and several telemetrys. I have nothing to buy from Xur anymore. Glimmer takes a while to get a ton of ammo. Before you could buy 5 heavy ammo syth for 1 strange coin. That was way easier if you're a guardian who plays a lot.
-
Yes and no. Iron Banner cleaned a lot of people out, but many of those same people are sitting on hundreds of strange coins. And every heavy ammo synthesis you don't buy from the gunsmith is nearly 10 primary ammos and almost 4 special ammos.
-
Which is you almost never need.
-
Primary no. Only occasionally. Special more so. I use sniper rifles and fusion rifles quite a lot depending on the fight, and 30 rounds (25 for the sniper rifles) can go pretty quick.
-
Jeez wish I had hundreds of strange coins...
