So it appears that after reading the early weekly update (10/13/2015) about the reductions of Motes of light and strange coins from packages and decrypting engrams, bungie has literally given us a reason to do Vault of Glass, Crota's End, and Prison of Elders. I get it though. No one wants to do these activities because there is absolutely nothing of value to gain from it.. This is where people are wrong... Vault of Glass is still fun and you can actually get the materials which 2 shards can give you 1 mote of light at the speaker.. Same with the materials in Crota's End.. As for Prison of Elders.. While also Lackluster in Year 2, again. You can farm the level 28 poe for motes of light AND strange coins... Each garnishing about 3 strange coins per run.. yes, the level 32, 34, and 35 are pretty useless as well but they do give nice rep for variks.. But hold on. There's MORE.. You can literally use Three of Coins on the PoE bosses but ONLY the main ones (Skolas, Urrox, Golrot, etc) so technically you can get some worth out of the Prison of Elders. And these activities are FAR LESS GRINDY than dealing with weekly Heroics.. Those Etheric Lights, Armor Cores, and Weapon Cores?? Give them to variks for the weapons and gear he has and dismantle them for weapon parts and armor materials!! If you have 3 characters and alot of time on your hands, you can literally clear ALL this activities in JUST 1 day!!!! (with a really good team of course).. Vault of glass?? 40 minutes... Crota? 30 minutes. Level 35 Prison of Elders? 30 minutes (depends on the modifiers.. Small Arms on Skolas was done in 40 secs for my group). So, while all of you are just brushing these activities off and not doing them every week, I will just being sticking with my devoted group and completing ALL end game activities each week and swimming in materials and NEVER getting bored of this game while you guys just continue to complain about "lack of content". Give me a break!!!
