The new radiant materials are killing Destiny. If they aren't gone soon, I can't see myself continuing to play. There is one way to get them, and that is Crota's raid. You can get maybe 4 or 5 a week with a character if you're lucky. Needing 21 of them to upgrade anything makes this an extreme amount of grinding. But worse than that, the introduction of these materials has devalued all other game content. All those ascendent materials are now utterly useless. Any activity that awards them is a complete waste of time. Instead of giving us more to do, the DLC has given us much, much less to do with these new currencies and materials that are only relevant to a single DLC activity. Make it worthwhile to run both Crota and VOG in a week. Those of us left playing this game do so because there were elements of it we still found fun, and wanted more. Taking all of those away from us just to make sure no one hit 32 too quickly was a horrible choice. Throwing away the entirety of the launch game for a very small portion of DLC is a bad decision. It might help sell DLC short term, but is going to drive players away long term. Please fix. Just scrap the new currencies and slap any designer in the future that suggest creating any more new ones.
