I wouldn't say irrelevant. A new currency for the new raid gear extends play time and doesn't screw people over who don't have the raid gear yet. I can remember several times having to scrap legendary gear I fully upgraded just because I found either a raid piece or a better stat roll on a current raid piece that I own. Shards wasted there.

But when you dismantled that gear you got some shards that you could put back in to the VoG gear. Now when you find Crota gear, you'll be dismantling gear and have no use for the shards that come out of it. I think that wastes more shards.

True but no where near the amount of shards I put in. Do we know what we get when we dismantle new raid gear? I would assume they would be radiant materials.

Yea, I know man. And yea, I'm pretty sure we get radiant shards, I got 2 from a chest piece if I remember correctly. Would be pretty good if we could get all the shards back that we put in, would mean I wouldn't be scared to waste them on my current gear incase I roll some better stat gear. Although I do prefer having to think about the risk of it so I'm happy with how it is.
