Don't Waste My Time
I have children and a standard 9-5 job, my time is important and the expansion reveals just how much Bungie doesn't understand that.
For weeks I have been sacrificing 2 hours of precious sleep a night to level up my Guardian. Then when I go to raise my most prized pieces of gear all that effort gets pissed on.
1. I had to buy the upgrades, nothing dropped from the sky, no free reward. It wasn't a cool new drop that I now have to do my part to make it mine. No, I used my hard earned resources to purchase the upgrade. To increase the value of something I already worked hard for.
2. Instead of adding a few more slots to fill, all my previous work, to include rare resources and time, just vanished. I was so excited to get the new levels that it didn't dawn on me till I started grinding again. I was all "Hey.... didn't I do this already?"
3. It is even harder to do this now. The strike, nightfall, daily, and weekly difficulties have been raised for solo players. I live in Hawaii, am 40+, have very limited hours to play; it's not easy finding like minded people with the same schedule.
I didn't know how angry and upset I was till my wife asked me why I wasn't playing Destiny anymore. I went from playing hours a night to only 2 nights in the last week.
Bungie my efforts and time are valuable to me and you threw your indifference to that in my face. The only saving grace is that I have met really cool people who I used to enjoy playing with and I want to catch up with them. Remedy this situation or there will be one less guardian participating in, spreading the word of, and buying into Destiny.

Right on man... there are some who don't mind taking it right up the rear they accept everything without question no matter how ridiculous. KillaJD82 seems to be one of them. There are more creative methods that Bungie could have implemented for the new upgrades. I'm not saying they are not trying to improve the game but the current method(s) just shouts "stalling!!!, while we continue to work to add more content." I still like the game but changes need to be made, so I've decided to dedicate some of my time to providing practical ideas that should help improve the overall gaming experience. Side note: Honestly, I believe the lack of content could be overlooked if certain features were implemented correctly, including this re-leveling of Exotic gear. If anyone really thought about it this same piece of gear helped you gain 10 levels (lvl 20 to lvl 30) now you are having to redo the entire thing for more time, money, and materials for an additional 2 level. Really!? If this is not injustice I don't know what is... I reforged three items the 1st week and ran out of Glimmer for the first time then it hit me, why even bother with reforging more that 1 piece of exotic gear per class. You only need that one (1) exotic + (2) faction lvl 31 gear and (1) lvl 30 to get to lvl 31. From there you just run the new RAID and get pieces for lvl 32. Now you just wait for Xur to sell the other items new and improved or hope and pray to get them as a drop (don't hold your breath you will pass out) then use the 7K+ glimmer you saved to upgrade your new items break down the old ones for the "exotic" shard and keep rolling. You just saved time, Glimmer and Strange coins. *At this point has the light gone off yet for anyone about what I mean about poor implementation. I'm getting prepared to submit some practical ideas that I hope the Destiny community will support and Bungie will take seriously...
