You've got a great idea. But, and I mean this in the most sincere and non-assholistic way I can say it, keep dreaming. You see, your suggestion would [u]cut[/u] down on playtime. BUNGiE wants to keep [u]inflating[/u] that playtime. By giving us ways to gather materials at a reasonable rate, you would reduce the amount of time spent playing the game to get to where you, the player, want to be. BUNGiE does not want you to reach that place. What BUNGiE wants you to do is to continually look at your character and say "X is okay, but what I really want is Y." and then when you get to Y they want you to already be back at the point of "Well, I got Y and all, but Z is the new hotness." And while there are plenty of good ways to about about this carrot and stick game of treadmilling out cool shit, BUNGiE has decided that making content is hard and too much work for them, so the alternative is to make Y and Z unreachable without absurd amounts of time and effort. I see so many good, hopeful posts that make me sad because there are so few people who are willing to pull OPs aside and say "Yes, that's a good Idea, but you're wasting your breath on someone who doesna give a damn about you and only cares about the numbers you generate for them."
