Ok so right now past level 20 any green drops that are obtained are dismantled within 2 seconds and you receive materials (i'm titan so I get plasteel plating, and i think everyone gets weapon parts) plus glimmer.. All fine and dandy...
The problem is when I have 400 weapon parts and 200+ plasteel plating just sitting in the inventory taking up space. No use for them once you have 2 or three weapons or armor sets leveled up.
Here's my proposal:
======> Allow us to trade these common materials in for higher level stuff we actually need to use such as ascendant materials or even vanguard or crucible marks. <==========
This would immediately make getting greens at high levels so frequently at least somewhat of an exciting moment. As opposed to: "oh great... another green, let me dismantle it since it's just gonna take space"
Please reply if you agree.

I've taken to keeping them on-hand, then equipping them before turning in bounties. One bounty, and its XP is maxed. Seems to result in more parts when I shard them. Not that I have any use for the parts...just gives me something to do with them. I will say, being able to trade the parts for ascendant materials would absolutely make my day. I don't know that trading them for XP or marks is particularly useful--hitting the cap for marks is easy enough. And since you can only equip one heroic armor and weapon, once you've got that, strange coins become less useful. Ascendant materials, however, are long-term useful. I realize having multiple heroic gear is equally useful, but in my experience, acquiring the gear is easier than upgrading it. YMMV.
