Removing essential currencies is a slap in the face for vets. And shards are not even a pain point for new players
Imagine you have a certain amount of a given currency in a bank, the banker then tells you, sir, we emptied your balance because we feel you have too much of it, now you won't need it to buy things, you can buy things with this other currency you have much less of. Great news I doth say.
This change is honestly insulting to people who played the game regularly.
People saved shards and didn't just spend them mindlessly so they have the luxury to be free of mindless grind, or pursue the gear they want knowing they already did the work.
that is how an in-game economy works.
Taking away any earned currency feels bad if not exchanged for another.
And no, people who earned their shards are not responsible for the exploits, if anyone, that is even more on bungie.
And it's not even hard to earn shards as a new light. If you play the game semi-regularly you would have enough. So the change feels more restrictive rather than providing ease.
To me it feels like another attempt at forcing players to play the game "as bungie intended" ...
They make people grind for stuff, when they need more playtime for their charts, they just remove said currency and make people grind another one.
Things like this only make me feel even better about my decision to not stay for whatever bungie is cooking after TFS.

9 RepliesYou clearly are a veteran, so let me speak for myself when I had to restart, and for everyone getting into the game Legendary shards are a miserable currency. There's no difficulty to getting them, and so when you start off and hardly have any you're wasting so many just grabbing exotics and stuff out of the kiosk because golf balls are easy to get in moderation. Running low on legendary shards means being unable to focus any sort of gear at all, upgrade masterworks or ghosts, trade in for glimmer, buy basic things from vendors, interact with xur, use the exotic kiosk, get raid banners, buy banshee guns, and some other stuff I'm missing When you have thousands hoarded up you don't even NEED to interact with half of these systems, you've been playing for so long you have your masterworks in what you want, you have the exotics from the kiosk, you have hundreds of raid banners, you don't need to focus gear that much, you don't use xur. NOBODY needs to grind into the thousands, it's a waste of time and doesn't need to be respected, and if you play so much that you just reach that amount anyway then you really shouldn't care because this genuinely does not affect you

1 ReplyIt's the increased engram cost that scares me. I REALLY hope they give us some clarification on HOW MANY engrams we will get from activities. If it isn't boosted from what it is now, the grind is going to be rough.

14 RepliesWere you grinding for legendary shards specifically, or were you grinding for that seal triumph, elusive god-roll HC or high-stat armor and when you didn't get it you dismantled the rubbish roll, leading to you getting shards as a side-effect?

2 RepliesThe problem is the amazing amount of bloat because of people finding exploits and completely devaluing the currency. This is like a reset and as a beta D2 player -current I know it’s not going to hurt me. In fact it’s less to think about
