I have 230 exotic shards. I don't understand why people have issues with shards?

The original TTK infusion system severely limited the rate of LL increase. Therefore to get 170 to 180, it cost on average 2 shards. Then begin to increase every exotic you have from 180-320 and on all 3 characters. It got expensive during TTK and again after the April update. The fact is, Exotic Shards are a flawed relic from an old system and should have been removed or reworked. Of course you exploit the kiosk and upgrades for 2 shards for spending 1. But that's not really working as intended is it? It's just a neglected system and it forces players into choosing which exotics should be infused and therefore limiting the experience. Throughout the ROI missions and levelling, I just ended up sticking to legendaries because it was too much.

I have 0 shards despite breaking down the proper weapons. I don't know what's going on but it's making me play less and less. The original game did this to me with light items. No matter where I Wentz what missions I did all I would see would be green and blue drops and they would always decrypt into garbage. It's like bungie has it out for me even though I own every game they ever made and have never done anything bad on any service. I have this game on Xbox one and PC, I primarily play on PC but when I want to play with my kid we use the Xbox since you can play together on 2 consoles with 1 digital copy of any game. It's fantastic.

Well how nice for you. Aren't you special. ..but there are plenty of reasons people might need them if you think about it for more than eight seconds. Also, not having them isn't the point of the thread. The fact that it shouldn't be necessary in the first place, regardless if you require it, is.

You should never infuse exotics. Wait until you reach max light with Max armor and weapons to bring them up. Or level up the ones you really need From year 1 to year 2: I dismantled all exotics I had(kept all in inventory/vault) and got them over again once I was max light. I leveled them up so when I dismantled them it gave me two shards each time I did the same for year 3 In year one, you would get tons of exotics so exotic shards came easier than it is currently

Except I like using them all, not keep loseling them all until I find them again or finish the dlc. ..and besides, if I have them all already, and all are upgraded and leveled fully, why should I continually have to re-acquire them and start again every dlc? Does that scan at all? All I'm saying is that if you have them all already, leveling again shouldn't require a shard when using an exotic that would grant a shard anyway if dismantled. You can't logically tell me that doesn't make sense..

I do now..but the reason I didn't want to in the first place is because I actually use all my weapons. I just want to continue to use them and feel that if I've upgraded the perks already, why should I not be able to continue to benefit from them at that standing? I just think removing the need for a shard, ONLY when infusing exotics with eachother..even if it was only the exact item for item, it would allow us to enjoy the game much more. Especially for day one players like myself that already have literally everything the game has to offer. Not having this ability wouldn't negatively affect people that don't require it, so I don't understand why they wouldn't support this idea.. Seems to me people just like to make a joke out of anything or show how cool they apparently are by insulting anyone they can. It's ridiculous.
