I like upgrading a lot of guns and I've been playing destiny since the Beta but recently I've found myself grinding to get weapon parts just to upgrade my stuff. Until recently this wasn't an issue because I had an ample stash from back in the days of playing the loot cave. But recently my weapons and armor have gone many days un-leveled because of the lack of crafting components. Bungie says that's (the loot cave) not how they want the game to be played but really a game like this is designed to keep you constantly upgrading you equipment. There's really no point in playing the PvE once your equipment is fully upgraded unless it's to get new equipment to upgrade. I say bring back the loot cave!!! That or at least give me an equally easy way to grind for weapon/armor parts because at the moment it's pretty crappy! The problem is that grinding for weapon parts (or armor parts) takes several hours of play just to get the parts required for a single upgrade and to fully upgrade a weapon could take a whole week of grinding. Not really a week of play but my priorities are on the Nightefall strike, the weekly strike, the Raid and Bounties for XP to level my stuff not on grinding for crafting components. Grinding gets pushed to the lowest priority and if I don't get enough to level my stuff naturally while doing other stuff there's really very little time at all. It's nice that vanguard marks can be used to buy raw materials for crafting but now lets have glimmer be able to buy crafting components. If just makes logical sense to be able to buy weapon parts from an weaponsmith. It's kinda funny that the weaponsmith has roughly ZERO. value in the game at any level. The best stuff can always be bought from the vanguard and the weaponsmith only sells useless crap from well below my level. At lest armor parts can be aquired by buying green armor in the tower and breaking it down but buying green weapons and breaking them down yields only glimmer! #WTFBungie
