I have around 20 motes of light currently and pretty much the same amount of strange coins.
I know about the method you describe. I used it during HoW to gain parts or reforging (and endless buying of Osiris stuff. I absolutely hate trials, however I would sometimes try to get enough wins to buy a weapon for cheap all over again (and then level it up).
However, I am not willing to do that amount of micro management anymore.
I don't really enjoy strikes anymore. They are boring.
The same applies to farming the CoO. It gets old pretty fast.
(Patrol is probably the mode I hate the most however)
I also do not want to switch my armor and weapons up all of the time just to get a few weapon parts anymore. It's tiring.
I just want to play the game, instead of hunting for Weapon Parts, at this point.

I totally agree with you, shouldn't even have to resort to doing that at all. That's just what I do when I'm low on weapon parts and am at tower turning in engrams. Doesnt take too long tho, maybe a minute or 2 to snag weapons from postmaster I swap a special and heavy, pop a few motes, swap em out with 2 others if i have them, dismantle, and repeat. Iactually don't do it with armor cause I ALWAYS have 100+ armor mats. I also run the Poe 28 a few times a week to test/level up some weapons and loadouts, but more so for snagging motes and coins. Just wish they would add a few new bosses and make HoW gear from PoE relevant. The Queen actually gives out class items up to 300 light for ranking up with her or getting a Queens Blessing.
