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!

If you run the nightfall on legend or higher is a decent way to farm shards. Especially when GM drops next month. It’s almost a guaranteed drop. And yes it’s a bit difficult to farm at that level, it’s at least a reliable method. The whole point is that exotics are meant to take a lot of materials since they have op/gimmick perks. I do agree that it’s a bit much, should go to 2 shards instead of 3
