No, I am sure bungie play tests, but when they do they have stacks of every material in the game, and every exotic already on the accounts they play on and don't remember that not every -blam!-ing player has a vast supply of materials. Plus the people are bungie arent exaclty the best at playing their own damn game so they dont try to think of how their playerbase will play the game and assume that their play style is EVERY players palystyle.
