This is a legitimate concern. Much of this patch is hot steaming bullshit served to us on a silver platter. As someone used to MMO grinding, mats have never been a problem for me nor anyone I play with. A very vocal minority seemed to be incapable of settling in to a chest and node farming route and instead spent time they could've been farming on flooding this forum with shitposts about how horrible farming was. It is a testament to Bungie's lack of direction that they chose to change fundamental portions of the game on response to this crap. Instead, you can grind out 50 wins to the tune of 15 mins per, or 12.5 hours of pvp (best case, longer if you lose any matches) just for one weapon.
