I sincerely get your point. You have a bunch of weapons you want to enjoy and you can't get parts quickly enough for them, especially since you rattled off around 17 of them that you want to level. I would counter that your predicament would probably be an extreme scenario though. Truthfully, how many people playing Destiny do you think are perpetually juggling a dozen or so weapons they want to upgrade for "a tick more of damage"? While I'm not saying you're wrong, I will say you're an extreme case and I don't think the system should [i]necessarily[/i] be modified for extreme cases.
Let me point out now that I don't have a problem with parts being sold. The issue I have is when people scream at Bungie telling them to fix their "obviously" broken system. I'll liken it to real life: let's say I make $2,000 a week. I could want to go to this club and buy these clothes and eat out at that restaurant all I want, but if my pay doesn't allow it, I can't go there. I don't go to my boss demanding he fix his -blam!- up immediately. I could ask for a raise, but it isn't necessarily owed to me, especially since I'm clearly trying to live more lavishly than I need to if I'm blowing through two grand a week.
This system is obviously meant to have some sort of cap. It isn't meant for people to blow through hundreds of parts a week without putting some form of effort back in, whether that be farming CoO, strikes, crucible matches, patrol, etc. If it were meant to be open to do whatever, weapon parts wouldn't exist in upgrade materials.
I'll freely admit that I'm probably on the other end of the spectrum from you. I find a gun I like and stick to it (Shadow Price/Treads Upon Stars). If I find another gun I might like, I don't bother upgrading it without testing it first. I couldn't care less about 3 more damage points because in 2 months all the guns will be replaced. That said, I certainly feel I know how to save resources. Glimmer was scarce for me when one of the first Iron Banners came out. Since then I've saved glimmer consumables and have over 45,000 glimmer in my vault and I'm not exaggerating.
A few of my friends also complain about weapon parts, but those same people also go on about how they rolled their shotgun or rocket launcher 100+ times looking for the great PvP rolls. I don't feel sorry for people like that because they're squandering resources with little regard for the future. This game punishes that and, while resources shouldn't be [i]impossible[/i] to get, I do feel it's proper to ensure at least some grind so people have a reason to play.
