I personally think Bungie set up some of the OWL shit to try and make us waste all our saved items. People are using up motes and stuff to spam their faction rep because one gives a boost. So come Tuesday they would have wasted it all and not be able to do a big faction boost after to get new RoI gear. It's like the 335+ exotic boots and Trespasser. Added to get Guardians to use up exotic Engrams chasing this new gear instead of saving it up.
