Bungie could have "fixed" the shard issue years ago by just lowering the required amounts, or increasing the amount given for dismantling. In their never-ending quest to be Bungie: Dictator of Destiny though, they decide to take instead of give. If they really wanted to simplify or streamline the economy (and if anybody wants to get smart and say there is no economy because there's no trading, I traded shards to Hawthorne for raid banners, so don't @ me...), then why do they keep adding them? Witches Keys, Terminal Overload Keys, Exotic Ciphers, Nightfall Ciphers, Red and white golf balls, etc.
