We need more opportunities at getting ascendant materials.

I have several vintage guns and pieces of armour in my vault that I really want to make useful again but they were never fully upgraded. The problem is that there are now almost no opportunities left to gain ascendant materials and none at all if you are primarily a PvP player. The daily heroic missions that offer them are far and few between and on top of that they offer no matchmaking which is a serious barrier for some (and soloing is not a fun option because of their difficulty). I've heard that VoG is a source, but not everybody wants to do a full-on raid for materials. It makes no sense that these materials should be this hard to gain now. Edit: Thanks for all the advice folks. I will simply have to grind out these mats doing VoG and/or Dailies. I kind of already knew that before I posted here but just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any other alternatives. Edit 2: Two things after a day of replies: 1. Thank you for all the constructive advice from many of you. My question has been answered. Thanks to you I now realise that setting the difficulty to 26 or higher on any pre-HoW daily strike will allow me to easily get ascendant materials. 2. And to the people that do nothing all day but pour derision on those who are looking for help on these forums: Frack off!

    It's a long time since I needed to grind for materials but when I did I used to do 3xpublic events every day (I think you still get shards and energy from them for the first one on each character). You can also get 3xradiant shards/energy from soloing the first door in the abyss (with your 34 warlock you can solo up to deathsinger with some practice reasonably easily so can get plenty of radiant mats each week). VoG is easiest place to get ascendant mats but obv only if you have a fireteam. You said dailies are no good, why is that? If I were you I would level up all my characters first so the above becomes easier.
