Give us a new market for our materials
I would like to see a new market established whereby we are given the ability to exchange any materials we already have for other materials we need. This market would have all of the materials in the game we need for our gear available for purchase. I don't know how difficult this would be to institute but I know the amount of planetary/weapons/armor materials I have is getting ridiculous and I would like to be able to do something with them. I believe this new market would encourage players to grind more as we would have a more direct way to obtain the materials necessary to level the gear. I think this would be a more enjoyable grind than what we are currently used to.
Vote and tell me what you think.

Well, we all had hopes that the barely mentioned material exchanges coming with HoW would address this need. And sadly, they were dashed faster than going to Master Rathole and getting your daily "bag of dicks". The ability to exchange "anything for anything" can be implemented successfully if the "exchange rate" has some logic, ability to fluctuate over time, is flexible, FAIR and reasonable for the majority of players. Even having to cascade exchanges to get to the rarer materials would give us a chance to upgrade our hard won stuff. Between my 3 characters, I calculated how much ascendant material I needed to upgrade my legendary armor and weapons...at the time of calculation, I needed 378 ascendant shards and 260 ascendant energies. At my usual rate of acquisition, it was going to take over 1 year, to get it all upgraded. Since the intro of HoW, the HoW legendary gear is better (in most respects), to the original and DB legendary gear and does not require ascendant material to upgrade. So "Why bother? They will all upgrade to HoW stuff anyway." But anytime a needed material's acquisition is limited to specific gameplay activities, it isolates and alienates those who do not participate in that specific activity. As an example, I do not enjoy the PvP activities, so I do not have the opportunity to purchase the Crucible gear. [b]Come on Deej[/b] - add a Spike to the Dev Team's next sprint to investigate determining a fair exchange rate and establishing a new vendor - "FatCat" who can handle the material exchanges. Even if the data supports 1000 Spinmetal to 1 Ascendant Shard, I would pay it! This doesn't even get into the concept of Player Trading, which is a whole other sack of monkeys with hand grenades! OR (gotta bitch while I can!) the exit of the Crota Knights who used to entertain us regularly. I feel like the DB expansion pack (which I PAID for) has been nerfed. Overall Bungie, you guys have done a great job with an extremely complex product! I still enjoy playing, but, as with any product, there is always room for improvement that is customer focused and customer driven. Thanks! SFBG 01
