Rare Materials for Dawning Gifts is just bad

I was pretty excited for this event, mainly cause I kept missing out on it in D1 (or flatout didn't bother cause of how much of a hassle it was), but my excitement got killed off pretty damn fast when my warlock (my main) got a quest for Failsafe to get 3 Dusklight Crystals. You read that right, Dusklight Crystals. Not Dusklight Shards. The Crystals. The rare materials that drop about as frequent as an exotic engram. I'm sorry, but when it can take a long while of just flatout grinding the damn shards to get crystals to drop as a random drop, especially for what amounts to a daily milestone quest, you kind of messed up. Maybe someone will be able to do this just fine within a couple of hours, but for me, this just shouts "we didn't think about this properly, did we?". Note: For my Hunter and Titan, they both got easy quest requirements which amounted to "kill X amount of Y". There's a big difference between killing a specific subset of enemies and grinding for a material that drops as frequently as an exotic.

    All you need is one crystal. Just collect one, stick it in your vault and take it out. Each separate action counts as getting one crystal so don’t give them to Devrim. This also works with other materials. There you go, all done! (*'ω'*)

We're not handing out participation medals to everyone on the first day."
