Okay so I would like to start this off by saying I love Destiny. I've put a lot of time into both PVE & PVP. However with this most recent expansion I noticed something that honestly annoys the hell out of me. I put over 10 days into Destiny getting my level 30, beating the Vault of Glass Raid on Normal & Hard multiple times (without all the cheese methods because I'm a purist) finally got all my Raid Armor to be a level 30 without an Exotic. Got multiple Vex Mythoclast's. So naturally I was excited for this "NEW RAID" expansion that was coming out that would bring new armor and raise your light level. I was okay with everything UNTIL I realized that dismantling Vault of Glass Raid Gear (Armor & Weapons) gave you Ascendant Materials..... Now Bungie, I ask you this.. Why on Earth would you put an Expansion out that could allow a BRAND NEW player/character to reach Level 31 by getting a new Exotic, Finishing Eris' Missions, Purchasing Armor from the Vendors, or playing the raid a couple times. Yet you won't reward the people who busted their asses getting from Level 1 to level 30 by allowing their old raid gear (which by the way is completely pointless now) to give them Radiant Materials when dismantled? What kind of logic was used when deciding to go with that method? I'm not ungrateful like I said I love the game and I've been playing the hell out of it but for how much time I put into this game getting my character from Level 1 to Level 30, I feel people like myself should have the option to give up our old Raid Gear for Radiant Materials (Details Below) for all of our hard work. So I'm aware that this method could easily be abused by people with three characters but I have an idea on how to deter someone from abusing it. Vault of Glass Raid Armors should give you 2 Radiant Shards each if the armor is fully upgraded. Vault of Glass Raid Weapons should give you 2 Radiant Energies each if the weapon is fully upgraded. If the armors and weapons are not upgraded then the player will only get Ascendant Materials. I feel this is a balanced yet rewarding method that gives the players who put time and effort into playing your game a reward for their hard work, in which aids them to raising their light levels and in return continue to want to play your game. Thank you all for taking time out of your day/night to read this, especially if you voted in the poll. If you have any ideas of your own feel free to leave them in a reply below I'd love to hear them. I'll be tweeting this directly to Bungie in a few hopefully they see it and give an honest reply and if we're lucky it gets put on their to do list for a future patch.
