I play this game nearly every day and have since launch. However, I NEVER spend time in planetary spaces, nor do I feel that I should be forced to do so.
I play endgame content - raids and pvp.
Because of that, enhanced perks are important to me. Most of my main armor sets have enhanced perks for different builds. However, because they most come from Dreaming City or Last Wish Raid, they all require Baryon Bough for infusion.
I NEVER want to run around like I’m gathering blueberries and blackberries from every bush in a planetary space just so I can use the gear I already worked hard to earn.
Gathering planetary materials is not fun, is not rewarding and while I’ve never tried to hack a game in any way, I would happily take any way to bypass this collection requirement if it were available. It drives me nuts.
I don’t think planetary materials should exist in the first place. But if you’re going to force an unrewarding system and sell most of them at spider... then put them all at spider.
This causes me to absolutely WASTE an hour of my time every week or two to gather more baryon bough. It’s not fun, it’s not enjoyable. And it’s skill-less.
In continuation of this system, when Shadowkeep drops, please have Spider well planetary recourses for the Moon immediately too, not a year later, please. I dislike the entire resource system for infusion, but if it has to be there, please make the vendor sell/exchange everything.
Bungie, you’re doing a good job with the game here in the last 12 months. Please fix this quality of life issue.

In d1 y1 running was the only option you had. I remember running with gamers to see who could get to the chest first or go a different pattern that would mess theirs up 😄 Later, Bungie added all the material to be able to purchase if I'm correct other then Warmspore. You know what would help with this and some might agree and some not. This tying everything to all characters not allowing them to have their own inventory sucks. Anytime you use any material you're screwed if you have other things to level up on other characters. How things are set up now is worse than D1 the same time both games have been out.
