I see where you are coming from, but there are those who simply don't have the time to sink into this game, and grinding is NEVER fun. Ever. Period. I don't care if "all games do it". I am glad that the speaker now exchanges materials, because it has literally been months since I've spent any ANY of my resources on anything. Etheric light is only obtainable in End-Game content, which some are not going to be good enough to obtain. Am I saying we make it easy for them? No, I am very much against the... casual-ization of gaming, were devs make games easier or more accessible to a larger audience to sell more games. However... I still think there should be a way for players who are not so good to obtain their Etheric Light, and for players who ARE good who need MORE Etheric Light to have the chance to obtain it. So... perhaps exchange 2 Exotic Shards and, say,1000 Glimmer or Etheric Light? Similar to how we exchange Energy to Shards. This will still allow players who play the game in general the chance for their Etheric Light, where other more experienced players who are sitting on SEVERAL useless Exotics and Exotic Shards the chance to use those materials.
