Okay, one last time. 1. The Queens Wrath was a special event. 2. When there are no special events, the opportunities to win armor to GET the materials is limited, and very difficult to access for people who play solo or don't have a regular fireteam. 3. Awarding of materials serves two purposes. It gives solo players---through activities they can readily access---the opportunity to advance thorugh the game if they cannot put together ar regular team to do weekly activities or raid. ...and obtain their gear through either drops, earning marks, or as rewards for levelling up their cryptarch or Vanguard rep over team. ONLY the person who is raiding on a regular basis is in ANY position to "complain" about getting Ascendent Materials. Because, to everyone else, they are rarer and more precious than even armor and weapons they serve to upgrade.
