See the pic, instead of being the genius master telling you what you should do, I am asking, what can we do with many obsolete currencies we have right now?
757 Ascendant Energies, 2,578 Weapon Parts, I would say 90% of my weapons are fully maxed, the others I'll max them when I have glimmer to spare because I never use them. And I own most of the weapons available in the game.
1,651 Hardonic Essences, 714 Ascendant Shards, I've got all my gear leveled up to level 32 on all my three characters(and Ascendant Shards are useless for any level 32 armor).
9 Exotic Shards while I own all Exotics minus Nechrochasm & Red Death because RNG when it gives me an Exotic Weapon or Armor, I already have it.
40 Strange Coins, I had more before Xur arrived, I spent some because I was bored, bought Don't Touch Me for my Hunter because they had better stats, bought a Plasma Sparrow Upgrade for a Sparrow a Vanguard Package game me, I was saving them for heavy ammo, even when you know we are losing heavy ammo and it's overpriced and we need it, and you've admitted that Xur is not RNG, so why not give us a hand?
Why do materials stop at 200 AND TAKE ANOTHER SLOT? WHY? I got like 1,000 Spinmetal across my 3 characters and the Vault and you can no longer exchange them back. That's why we all need more Vault Space, specially those like me who have been playing since day 1.
I've read somewhere that it would be cool to have a "Bank" at the Tower where you could exchange currencies, IMO this is needed, because with the introduction to the new currencies the old ones became obsolete. I don't think this would be so hard for you to implement as you introduced the Exotic Shards and the exchange system (marks for materials) very quickly.
Also Vanguard and Crucible Commendations, my God, I have like 20 of each one, they're useless since I already got all the weapons I want or have bought the ones I wanted, those Commendations are useless.
I remember back in the early days it was so hard to get an Ascendand Shard, and we fought hard to get them, because they served a purpose, now they are just there taking space on my inventory.
So, Bungie, I know you love the Community as much as the Community loves your game (hope this is true), and come up with a solution, you have the talent, resources & ideas, so, I ask again, what can I do with these?
Edit: Video with my progress so far after clearing all bounties and dailies today(even helped some people kill Atheon and Crota along the way), now I'm off to the movies with my girlfriend and then have a nice dinner, and party all night, because I like to play Destiny but it's not the only thing I do as many of you tend to think.
