There could be plenty of reasons you might have to go in your menu. You may need to chamge 1 piece of gear, you may want to change weapons cause of the map or strike, you may have forgotten a mod or two. Saying to just not be in the menu is like telling people to just never make a mistake for the rest of your life.

Not even close to the same. Being in a menu that you know could close any moment, is not a mistake. Mistakes are allowed as long as you learn from them. I equate being in the menu closer to touching a red-hot burner then complaining because you got burned, then doing it over, and over, etc... Bungie has explained why this happens, and why they can't fix it, so the only solution is to get your gear straight before or during an activity, or risk being frustrated by closing menus. The risk is up to you. Also, interesting name. I knew someone named Hoppy who died.

My name is from the movie southpaw. There was a character named hoppy who died.

Ahh OK. I've never seen it, but I looked it up and it reads like it's worth a watch.
