THREE ascendant shards to upgrade an exotic armor piece WTF?

Seriously Bungie, get a fkking grip will ya. There is NO chance for a casual player to be able to do mid level content and to have even a remotely chance to first of buy, and then upgrade exotic weapons and armor with all this material costs. I have been grinding my A$$ off , several years, (I'm no sweatlord) but i have upgraded most of my exotic catalysts and got a tonne of armor, weapons and mods. And of course a lot of Exotics as well. And as naive as many people are, thought, well FINALLY i can upgrade my heart of inmost light, (YEAH) NOPE, sorry bud, you need to WASTE Three ascendant shards for that. So without using all the shards from the Season pass you need to continue grinding. 500 - 1000 hrs are not enough it seems! I always end up in the ranges of a thousand of legendary shards, and when you then buy ten prisms, you back at 100 ,to start over. Bungie are sure no friend of the casual player. Only the 1% of Youtube and Twitch! The ones that can dunk all day and get drunk on the weekends and have other people pay for their pleasure! Stop pretending that you "Care" about us! Seriously Bungie, get a fkking grip, YOU ARE SLIPPING BIG-TIME! From being the most avid gamer, promotor, ambassadeur for the Destiny franchise i have become to dislike your business model, not to say h@te your guts!

    Unfortunately they created a very unstaggered and uneven ecosystem. Players who do GMs have literally been SWIMMING in AS meanwhile those who either don't enjoy NFs - remembering these are only glorified Strikes not some premium content as they're spun to be - or -blam!- on doing the hardest available matchmade activities have little to none. It's far too steep a discrepancy. It's the same with droprates for NF weapons: 100% guaranteed droprates Adept versions Vs non-Adept barely dropping (probably around 10% for a single drop). It'll also be the same for the new Ascendant currency for upgrading enhanced perks. It barely drops for matchmaking - again probably ~10% yet for those with a few premade teams these too will be almost guaranteed. It's close to an everything (and then they complain as to wanting more rewards) or nothing ecosystem. The debates are typically myopic to this however because it isn't a problem for certain players therefore in their minds it isn't a fundamental problem - they genuinely can't see past their noses. And of course with ever increasing numbers of mods and a whole range of harder content as well as PvP you absolutely can well use those 10 little energy slots - don't be fooled by the 'yOu DoNt nE3d MoR3' - thinking is hard after all I guess. But this indeed is the problem of companies following, changing and and catering the game to an UNREPRESENTATIVE small group of Streamer-YouTubers.
