Many of these mods are integral to the strongest and most popular builds in the game, and yet the only way to get most of the mods essential to them is to hope that banshee is selling them that day.
This is not a good way to do things. I feel no reason to use warmind cells, because I didn't play during season of the worthy, and now I don't have the mods that make them good. If I hadn't played during dawn or arrivals, I might feel much the same about charged with light, and yet, I still want to use warmind cells, because I know they're good. Everyone who talks pve builds knows how strong they are.
I propose that there should be some way to go after more specific mods, or at least having a way of getting more than two possible mods to drop from banshee. Like bounties. Most people don't use Banshee's bounties to get upgrade modules since they're so cheap nowadays, I don't see why they couldn't be repurposed to drop mods.
Edit: Since a lot of people seem to think this is about wanting handouts, let it be known, I don't care about them being hard to get, I care about them being so inconsistent to get.
These are game changing mods, with abilities on the level of exotic perks. Entire builds are made around these mods. New players have no way to get them other than praying banshee sells them, and that is where the problem arises. I don't care if they're hard to get, they just need to be more consistent to get.

I hear ya. It's true. It was mind numbingly boring unlocking all those mods... I only unlocked half of them. I occasionally kick my self for limiting my playstyle now. Then I remember the seasonal garbage cycle and I admire those who took the time. This game has some seriously dedicated players. Level three or four hundred. It's crazy. I'm 155 maybe... and a casual. The sheer dedication shown this game has made it bullet-proof and just guarantees it will never improve. Sadly, Destiny will never reach its' destiny. There's just no motivation on bungies' part.
