Oh, here's the reply. The mobile app buried it. No, many players like myself are in fact NOT LAZY, but proactive in that we are constantly testing things to push the threshold of what works. It isn't about taking every single legendary and dumping everything in it straight away. No, I don't upgrade duplicate weapons with maybe 1 perk different from one to the next to see if I do a tick more damage. Between PvE and PvP, there are many weapons that I use for one but not the other. Exotics and legendaries alike. Sometimes I don't have a choice because of the light level. But when I do, I don't like using the same weapons over and over. Sometimes I switch between a scout rifle. A pulse rifle. Maybe one day I feel like an auto. Many weapons still let you feel competitive. CLEARLY at my grimoire I would know what perks suck and what perks don't. I like to find weapons that play on strengths the character already has. Or boost a weak spot. Either way, let's look at it like this. 15 parts to upgrade a legendary 30 parts to upgrade an exotic 10 parts per infusion Doesn't sound like much right? Hold on a sec. Consider this. 280 base attack for armsday and vendor weapons 280-299 base attack for engrams 280 base attack for kiosk exotics At 280 you aren't going to infuse a weapon once or probably not twice. Some people have kept weapons from 220 attack and have upgraded them multiple times. 1000 yard stare was a quest reward for 250 attack for example. The little things add up. What was once upgraded for 15 parts could be anywhere from 25 parts to 55 or more at the end of it. For exotics, at 280, you are probably looking at 50 parts to bring it up to par. Sure, I have some weapons I can use in both the raid and Trials. A 305 Nirwen's Mercy. 309 Red Death. 310 Hawkmoon. 310 1000 Yard Stare. 311 Black Spindle. 316 Terminus. What I want to upgrade is my 274 Hawksaw. A few 280 Ironwreaths. I can't infuse a 313 fusion rifle into my 1KYS. Can't upgrade my Armsday Hakke pulse rifle to even use in normal crucible. I got a 294 NTTE that I just recently upgraded the last node of after having it since the day it dropped. I'd like to try that in Trials.. like my 294 Bad Juju but I'm not sacrificing light level. At any given time, I may get around 10 weapon parts from a day's activities. Bounties, a few strikes, maybe a crucible match or two. Some weapons I hold onto because they are around 290-299 and are better infusion material instead of dismantling them for 1 weapon part. I guess I'm wrong for wanting variety and constantly trying to adapt to the PvP and PvE meta? Again I think if you were to delete all your weapon parts you'd find you had a very different opinion in a week or so. With 1600 why would you even worry about it? I know you said you upgrade all the exotics; but how many guns are sitting at 280? 290? Think about that. 3 exotics is 90 parts not counting infusions. How long do you think it would take someone without 1603848 parts to replenish that to be able to infuse another weapon or make an upgrade? I really feel the core of your argument is "I have plenty of weapon parts. If the majority of players don't have parts, it's because they are bad players. Git gud." At the bottom of it all, we just want to enjoy the game. It isn't about getting handed things. It isn't about entitlement. It's about having fun.
