Realistically, we all know that Bungie will never implement the changes you have put forward no matter how great they are. This whole game is basically a cash-grab. Has anyone seen the e3 footage of the game? When he inspected Thunderlord's skill tree, there were NO ascendant materials required in upgrading it nor were there any planetary materials. Only glimmer and weapon parts. It seems that ActiBungie put in those upgrade materials at the last second to make the grind even longer and frustrating. Furthermore, when TDB was released, ALL our legendary and exotic gear became redundant.
