I get your frustrations but I think you’re looking at this from a very pessimistic stance. I’ll be honest, I stopped understanding half the stuff you said about halfway through it. Yes I get you did the math and the issue you have now is accepting the realization of all these resources you’ll need but it just seems you’re looking for ways to be upset rather than just playing the game. I have amassed all the resources you mentioned, you have, everyone has, from simply playing the game. Maybe that’s what it’s intended to be. Bungie doesn’t want its players mindlessly grinding for a stupid item rather than being a social enhancement of its community and game world. Just play, shoot things, and have fun. Why must some of you guys seek ways to be mad all of the time? Nobody cares about materworked armor anyhow lol and correct me if I’m wrong man but you said it yourself that you don’t either. So my point seems clear here.
