Why the struggle for weapons parts? I have about 1200 lying around?

If it's not an issue for you why comment?

Because I'm genuinely confused as to the apparent drought of weapons parts that seems to be going around. Curious as to what I'm missing. Just a question no need to be so salty.
-
I'll tell you why, we spent it on reforging and donating to factions.
-
No salt, just asking.
-
Because not everyone has 1200 lying around. Why do these posts always prompt responses from people who lack so much imagination?
-
I'm asking why so many people have a lack of weapons parts, you could just answer the question.
-
Upgrading weapons I want to use and infusing them up. Never donated to faction rep. At 42 account wide. Couldn't tell you why. My default way to play the game when there's nothing specific to do is play strikes. Why didn't you use the common sense God gave you to realize that not everyone is going to have a ton of weapons parts lying around? It takes literally zero thought to come to the conclusion that some people are managing to spend way more than they bring in. Lots of people from the looks of it.

Well considering this is a recent thing, it's not that irrational of a question. I've perused these forums since I got the game, day 1. And I've never seen so many people complaining about a lack of weapons parts. No need to be so patronising!

Apologies if I seem patronizing, but a lot of people post similar posts to yours that are so condescending you just want to smack the stupid out of them. "Why do you have trouble? I have thousands!" Here's what I think happened. There have always been different approaches to the game, and specifically gun use. Some people get weapons they like using, and then always use those weapons. Others always have a large variety of weapons which they like to upgrade and use. This has always been true. In the past this difference manifested itself in complaints about vault space. But even then it was somewhat limited because in PvE at least most people used raid primaries. But either way you had people upgrading a lot and others not upgrading a lot. But the flow of weapons parts was high so even those who upgraded a lot had a large amount (I know I was sitting on 900-1200 at one point). A key here is that the limiting factor to collecting was vault space, NOT weapon parts, so there was a huge disparity but everyone had more than enough. Then reforging came about and you had two types of people again: those who reforged a lot and those who didn't. People who collected a lot and reforged a lot got drained, but even then the impact was somewhat limited. Then comes TTK. Infusion costs you coming and going since you lose the materials for the infusion AND lose the materials you'd have gotten for dismantling. And you have to infuse. Additionally, raid primaries had their elements removed to increase variety and it has worked because now the collectors have a ton of different weapons they can use without feeling like they're gimping themselves (another reason they infuse) and have the vault space to store them all, and we even have armsday to feed us new guns every week to try! And of course you can trade parts for rep. And then Bungie nerfed weapon parts from dismantling. What is the net result? For players who upgrade and use a lot of weapons to have fun with, their use of weapon parts hugely outstrips their income. And it's no use trying to pull the self control card because for a year we upgraded as much as we wanted without ever having to worry about parts. So now we have a slightly smaller influx of parts for a drastically greater outflow of parts. For a lot of players this pretty quickly destroys a reserve they used to not even think about.

Its funny because I had about 20 wep parts yesterday and now im at 500
-
How wonderful for you. It's funny because as it stands now the only thing your post is contributing is by showing you're a troll.
-
Umm nope. Just run strikes. Its not hard, just kick back and listen to your favorite music and you'll have weapon parts up the ass.
-
It's not a question of hard. What if I don't feel like grinding for parts what I I want to play crucible or anything else besides running strikes over and over again. Don't get me wrong I like running strikes but, why should I have to make sure I grind strikes before doing what I want to just keep a positive part supply.

OK well banshee is going to be selling weapon parts for glimmer soon so I guess it'll solve the problem
