[quote]Fellow Guardians & Bungie (Please Like/UpVote if you want this to 'Trend" and be seen by DeeJ etc) Nobody enjoys doing hours of farming SpinMetal, Spirit Bloom, Helium or Iron It takes 64-80 materials to upgrade fully a Legendary or Exotic. This equates to the farming for the almost a hour. In the late end-game most players will need to put in about 10 or so hours of farming. I accept this is part of the RPG-MMO game style put we’re approaching South Park “Killing Boars” in WoW magnitudes here. Why can’t we receive a percentage of the Materials we’ve spent in return for dismantling an upgraded piece of gear. Even a token 25% would be better than nothing, it would help the end-game in all the right ways. An amount like 50% would be great but I doubt this will happen given how the rest of the upgrading system works. 33% would be extremely fair, still require a decent bit off farming but not completely ruin the late-end game experience. To have a decent PvE and PvP load out takes almost 1,200 Materials. That’s 3 fully upgraded Legendaries/Exotics in each of the 3 weapon slots. 6 fully upgraded pieces of armour (say 2 different exotics for an alternative PvP load out or alternative Exotic to suit your 2nd Subclass). Come on Bungie, with the DLC launching soon there are gonna be a lot of very annoyed level 28+ players who spent many hours getting decent gear. That gear will now be redundant (if we ignore all “you can upgrade it further” speculation). We’ll have players (myself included) with all sorts of Raid gear, Iron Banner gear, Queens Wrath Gear and Exotics. The least you could do is give us a decent portion of our Materials and Shards/Energy back. Please sign, lil, bump, whatever this thread if you’d like to see it addressed by Bungie and the Community management team (sorry if there is already a thread on this, I looked and could not find one after searching) Adding a poll so you can agree if you like the idea and how much you think we should receive when scrapping gear. Good Luck out there Guardians. Thanks in Advance GenericDreadHead[/quote] Why are you scrapping upgraded gear in the first place?

In going to bump this. I think it's an excellent thread with an extremely valid point.
