Just a quick suggesting which popped up in my mind while I dismantled an exotic weapon was that why not give it a new usefulness?
My suggestion is make so you can upgrade the attack stat and defense value of exotic gear with exotic shards! E.x one exotic shard infused witht a piece of gear equals 3-5 attack/defense power in inceease. I have pile of exotic shards(and still going up) just collecting dust and I believe it should get a new purpose! Most of my exotic gear is at 290 and I usually ignore them since there is NO WAY I'll be able to get all of my exotic gear at 310 through infusion.
[b]Before[/b] you say that it is already used to infuse exotic gear and already have a use, I think that idea should be scrapped. It serves little to no purpose since everyone will just grind for exotic engrams and decode them at lvl 300+ light for a chance at getting 310 stat value so you don't have to grind extensively for 310 gear in King's Fall(Yeah, good luck too with those drop rates!) And the exotic shards will continue pile up.
Any thoughts? Agree, disagree? Any other suggestion? Please share it below!
