Whose bright idea was it to add the planetary elements to weapon upgrading? Now I have to go out of my way to pick up alkane spores/data lattices etc to upgrade my weapons? This is nothing short of a step in the wrong direction, backwards. Why implement a system that is infuriatingly inferior to the previous one? Seriously Bungie, trying to give these items value by forcing their use is an absolutely disgusting game design choice. People shouldn’t defend this either by saying things like “You get the items from heroic public events etc anyway, it’s not a big deal” it is, because when you inevitably run out and need to upgrade a weapon, you’ll have to waste time gathering materials to do so.
