Bungie, if you're reading this..exotic shards are too difficult to acquire now.
It's almost like you don't actually want people to use their weapons.
Which coincidentally would explain why ammo disappears when you switch guns.
I don't get it..
:s
That said, imo the best solution is to eliminate the need for an exotic shard when upgrading an exotic to another exotic.
I mean if you break it down you get a shard anyway right, so what's the big deal?
Infusing a legendary or below to an exotic should of course be what the shards are required for.
When I get an exotic drop, I mostly don't want to have to level up my gun all over again.
I just want to upgrade and have fun.
Isn't that the point of a game anyway?
So please, let's make this happen yes?
Oh, and Xur should always sell shards as well.
Thats all.

Equip said heavy and a class item that gives increased XP while leveling that type of heavy 4. Use six motes of light to fully upgrade the weapon. DO NOT activate any of the nodes 5. Breakdown the heavy exotic 6. You now have two shards, a net of +1 7. Repeat as needed
