What is Bungie’s End Game literally. Well let’s think about what orbs do:
• generate supers
• provide protection- protective light
• increase damage- high energy
• regenerate abilities- absolution
• produce ammo- extra reserves ( among many )
This list goes ON… so for anyone thinking that a decline in orb production won’t effect our life expectancy as a guardian they’re sadly mistaken.
This is actually HUGE this actually changes the very fabric of our play styles. Charged with Light does SO MUCH! One could say that the more often you are charged with light the more likely you are to be successful in any game content. So if it has become more difficult to become charged with light…. Clearly we are less likely to be successful or simply are current play-styles are about to hindered.
Looking at Bungie’s history. What every has been affective for too long they nerf.
I think they realize just how powerful orbs of light make us. Now that want to change that to ensure we don’t chew through content on the witch queen. This is yet another example of how Bungie’s simply takes the lazy way out instead of becoming more creative and finding a solution everyone is at least at peace with.

Also star eater scales's whole thing is picking up orbs.

The claim is that it will free up resources to allow for more gun diversity. We're gonna see how true that is in time. Bungie admitted that this last TWAB did not show the whole picture. No one but Bungie really knows anything until Feb and we have almost no information to work with. I do think this change is showing that we lean on Taking Charge a bit to much though.

Go back and read the TWaB newsletter again. They are not getting rid of them just altering how you get them by moving the mod from masterworked weapons to the characters helmet.
