[EDIT 1]
Just hit over 1K replies - gotta say, I certainly didn't expect this post to draw as much attention as it has. Many thanks to those who've read, replied and offered suggestions of their own. Now, let's see if we can get Deej or Cozmo to notice this.

1 ReplyEdited by FeralGriffon: 3/16/2016 6:39:14 PMBungie, just stop ignoring this and comment on the current state of the game. You know you're losing players fast. In may, with the release of Uncharted, Mirror's Edge and Overwatch. You can prevent this (to an extent) by releasing new soon/now. Also bump.

1 ReplyEdited by br00k: 3/19/2016 11:05:03 PMMake Unstable Element Exotic, and a 300+ light required item. Then it is worth it. Otherwise, lower the price. Example: 40 Motes and 22 strange coins for 1 Unstable Current.
