I would just like to quickly propose a decent (IMO) and easy solution to a problem most have with random drops.
What if you could buy for example, a strange coin for 7k glimmer, a mote for 6k glimmer, an exotic bounty for 25k glimmer, etc from a new vendor. Would anyone like this because it allows people to level up to participate in raids without relying on randomness of drops being on your side to get to a high enough level (because glimmer isn't really random)?

Not sure if anyone suggested it already as I haven't read a lot of replies but what about using marks to buy Coins and Motes? That way you are at least taking away the ability to buy legendary gear if you decide to spend the marks on coins/motes
