The fact that Shader's are nothing more than a cosmetic item makes the grind some people have to get them absolutely ridiculous. For example, I've gotten to Dead Orbit Rank 78, and while I've gotten multiple copies of The Hanged Man, Bittersteel, and The Fermi Solution, I've only gotten one Nowhere, and not even a single copy of Revenant, the one Shader I've been searching for for months on end now. Quite frankly, it makes no sense whatsoever. I for one would think that a Faction would be happy to let a Guardian they happen to be sponsoring wear their colors. As for the "I had to grind out ranks to [i]earn[/i] mine, so why should Bungie let others just [b]buy[/b] them now?" argument? It's a poor excuse that only encourages having to rely on extremely spotty RNG rewards. From the start, back in Destiny's Beta, it looked like Factions were meant to sell their Shader's right off the bat, and that should've been the case since launch. And quite frankly, the elitist attitude when it comes to loot drops needs to stop. It only makes the community more toxic, and doesn't help anyone or solve anything.
