Don't make me Farm Resources!

#1 Increasing the amount of resources a chest or plant can give

13

#2 Have resources as a reward for completing basic missions

11

#3 Including large resource packs in the Ascendant Materials drop table

2

#4 Trading currencies for element resources with a Tower vendor

17

#5 Rewarding resources after completion of a Patrol mission

11

All of the Above

108

None of these, I like spending my 2-3 hours farming for resources

20

[spoiler]All of the Above can have #3 out of the deal, pretend it's Most of the Above. Or pretend #3 is: Including element resources in Public Event rewards.[/spoiler] So I have finally accomplished my goals of capping XP on my favorite Legendaries, Raid gear, and exotics. I finally have all the ascendants I could need to get a weapon that does 300/300 damage and to reach level 29+. The problem is I'm starting to loose interest in getting the materials needed for upgrades. I don't like putting time into activities that aren't important, I have a life outside of Destiny that comes first. When I play Destiny, I enjoy doing my weeklies and raids. I do not enjoy the hassle resource farming is. It's an activity that can take 30 minutes or longer of my day. Whenever I need resource materials such as Spirit Bloom, Relic Iron, Spinmetal, or Helium filaments, I make my way to Patrol on that planet. I find myself following a route that leads to known chest and resource locations, doing a few missions in between. I can only get myself to grab 18 of the element I need before I feel like I need to do something else. By the time I grab enough resource to purchase an upgrade, 23 minutes have past by. If shooting into a dark tunnel for engrams was "not the Destiny experience," then exploiting the spawn locations for elements isn't either! ----- Doing chest runs isn't bad when you have one Item to upgrade, but I have multiple. It's getting to the point where It's unbearable for me to even think about. I simply do not have or want the time to resource farm for 2 hours just so I can upgrade. I know once in a blue moon a chest drops 10 of an element, but it still doesn't happen as often as it should. I would like to see these farmed resources dropped more often and in higher numbers throughout the many activities of this game. We have a few places to spend these resources so increasing the rate Gaurdians receive these resources will not harm "the Destiny experience." ----- [u]Please consider one of these options.[/u] 1) [b]Increasing chance for the amount of resources given when opening an over world chest[/b] [quote] Right now I get 1-2 of an element for each chest or plant; I would like to see that change to at least 1-4. [/quote] 2) [b]Reward completion of basic story missions with element resources[/b] [quote] When completing a basic story mission, you receive no reward. Seeing resources like Spirit Bloom, Relic Iron, Spinmetal, and Helium Filaments as a reward in packs of 5 or more would help. [/quote] 3) [b]Place large packs of element resources into the Ascendant Materials drop list[/b] [quote] There's usually complaints when seeing 9 strange coins drop on Nightfall or Ascendants on Dailies, it could be a good or bad thing adding a chance to receive 30-60 of an element resource. At least I wouldn't have to farm for that week. [Edit] This was a bad Idea. pretend I said: [b]Reward Public Event completion with the Planet specific resource.[/b] [/quote] 4) [b]Have a Tower Vendor that trades currency like Glimmer, Strange Coins, or Motes of Light for resource packs[/b] [quote] We can trade in a pack of 50 for a few marks and reputation, but there's nothing like that the other way around. I would love to trade Glimmer, Motes, or Strange Coins for multiple element resources. I'd even trade in Vanguard or Crucible marks, but if be a little bitter towards that trade. [Edit] Apparently I forgot about the hundreds of weapon parts and armor parts sitting in my inventory. I would definitely trade those for farmed resources. [/quote] 5) [b]Rewarding completion of a Patrol mission with element resources[/b] [quote] I'm usually doing both at the same time, It would be nice if both gave element resources as a reward. [/quote] [b]Thank you for Voting and reading. This isn't a super important matter but I would really like to see something like this implemented ASAP. Please bump so I can spend some time having fun [i]NOT[/i] farming for resources on a game.[/b]
