I think one big point that was missing in that article was bungie's attempts to slow down progression with radiant mats and vendor commendations are really annoying. Firstly, thanks for making my 300 and 400 ascendant energies and shards useless! And secondly, thanks for filling my inventory with more crap and not increasing vault space! I really want them to allow us to trade in ascendant mats for radiant mats. 10:1 sounds somewhat reasonable. My 400 ascendant becomes 40 radiant. I can handle that since they are 100% useless right now...
