They want you to grind. They know if you really want the synth you will farm glimmer all day to purchase them from the otherwise useless gunsmith. Each update and thing they do with the game increases the grind and adds more walls to your progress. People just need to realize this. It's why they took away resource trading for marks and added the commendations. Now not only do you have to grind Vanguard ranks to buy your gear (which they also raised the price on), but you now have to get a commendation to purchase your helmet or chest piece, so now your armor progression is blocked by two walls where before it was just one, getting to Vanguard/Crucible 2. People need to realize this isn't going to change. Each patch and update just adds more barriers to progress to keep people playing the game longer.

I can agree and appreciate what you are saying but I don't think it's asking too much to make the heavy a regular thing from xur. I grind strange coins for one reason and that's heavy ammo from xur. Maybe they could at least raise the glimmer cap? Maxing your glimmer for 25 heavy ammo just doesn't cut it IMO.

Oh I agree it isn't too much to ask, I'm just pointing out what their mentality is. I don't find it a coincidence that the hard mode raid comes out and Xur hasn't had heavy synth. Everything they do with the game is just to add another layer of grind.
