I don't have a problem with it. It's you that has the problem :/ if you don't like it don't play it. At the end of the day it's a grindy game that's made to keep you playing. If you had everything given to you there would be no point playing as much.

In the end I am actually punished because I spent more time playing this if you think about it. I ran through normal earlier in the week which would've dropped something right? Probably shards. Fine. But now with that dropping nothing I now realize that running them separate actually degrades my gaming experience therefore I will sink less time into playing the game. This is the opposite of what Bungie's wants right? They want to keep me and other people playing the game. They just shot themselves in the foot like they have on countless other occasions.

So you're saying you should get more for playing less :/

No. I'm saying I will by just doing a hard run once a week now.
