Because bungie , many of us have done the work , we did the bounties , we have done the missions , and keep getting the same damn stuff ,I feel its our right to get shards from these items , just as we would any other legendary gear we break down , and to say its wrong and to take them out of the gear is cheap and shallow way to address all the -blam!-ing peons on this game bitching about people's methods and farming, you don't want people to have shards so easily that's fine , but then you must take shards out of every single gear in the game including raid. and here's another way to look at the queen's missions , they are basically supped up versions of the daily heroic missions , and what is the reward for doing level 28 heroic besides increased Xp ? oh right two ascendant materials , often shards . what im implying is the shards you can get from breaking down legendary gear is like an alternate reward for the queens wrath missions for those who've gotten her gear already . while id hope you'd come and respond deej on why im right or wrong , im not going to hold my breath , so anyone who reads this come and bump this , and maybe we can get them to change or at least answer this post .
