In my opinion Ascendant Materials should not be earned through the raid or Legendary Engrams. There is a chance to receive them every day by doing the daily story mission and you can find them in abundance. In fact, I don't believe they should be legendary at all. An example of why they have become a nuisance is something I've actually seen quite a lot of people post about on the forums: people go through the entire raid, getting every chest and beating every boss only to receive ascendant material for every single reward. In addition I've done the Nightfall, Weekly, and Daily today and each reward gave me ascendant materials; even the legendary engram I received contained them. What makes this especially frustrating is the fact you can only be rewarded for doing each of these once a week only to have to wait another week just for a chance to attain raid gear or other legendary items. I understand that there are many legendary and exotic weapons to be attained in this game which would make the need for them great but in my case I've gathered more materials than I need to upgrade all of the guns that I currently like to use. A solution that would benefit a lot of the player base would be to reduce their drop rate or allow players to be rewarded for the raid and other events more than once a week for each character. Any other players with the same problem out there with other solutions in mind?
